Visa Applications Are Smoother and Faster Through MyVISA 2.0 – Operational From 1 August 2025



The Malaysian Immigration Department (JIM) has made improvements to the digital visa application system for foreigners through the launch of MyVISA 2.0, which is scheduled to be operational on 1 August. This new system is the latest version of the previous platform introduced in December 2021 and was developed as a digital initiative to offer a more efficient visa application experience.


According to JIM, MyVISA 2.0 uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to facilitate the visa application process completely online without the need to attend a physical office. Among the key technological features introduced include Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for automatic document scanning, real-time notifications, smart automation, virtual interviews and an eVisa tracking and approval system equipped with a QR code.


To increase convenience for applicants, a special application is also provided to enable application management to be done in person. Through this system, applicants no longer need to attend a Malaysian Representative Office abroad for the purpose of applying for a visa. With this, it is hoped that the quality of public services can be improved, thus making immigration management better.
