Getting a Journey Performed Visa
Journey Performed (JP) visa is a special visa that is required by the Malaysian Immigration
Department for citizens bearing passports from countries not listed in Appendix 1. So, for
those holding UK, Netherlands, USA and Tanzania do not need a JP visa whereas those
from India, Pakistan, Japan, China and France require to.
JP visa costs approximately RM520.00 per person and it is not covered by our normal
application fees. JP visas are stamped on your passport alongside with the MM2H visa.
They are issued by the Immigration at Putrajaya or the MM2H Center on the day of passport
endorsement. JP visa is only issued in Malaysia.
JP visa is a one-time visa unless you let the MM2H visa expires.
MM2H visa is given up till the expiration of your current passport. MM2H visa will expire just
months before the expiration of your current passport. If you enter Malaysia before the
MM2H visa expires (with your new passport), then you will continue to get the remaining
years for your MM2H visa. If you enter Malaysia after the MM2H visa has expired, you will
enter as a tourist and you have to pay an additional RM520 (approx) per person for the JP
visa. Thus, it is best to enter Malaysia before the MM2H visa expires so that you can
continue the MM2H visa without paying for the JP visa. If your MM2H expires and if you are
holding a passport from countries listed in Appendix 2 (like Pakistan China, India), then you
need to get a tourist visa from the Malaysian embassy or high commission before coming to
Malaysia. If you do not get a tourist visa, you cannot enter Malaysia as your multiple entry
visa in your MM2H has expired.
