Malaysia visa check
Malaysia visa check: eVISA, Employment Pass and Student Pass
There is no single portal for every Malaysia visa type. The correct check depends on the visa category and who filed the application. Choose the route below and enter details only on the official domain.
Choose the right check
Use your MYVISA account for a pending eVISA application. To verify one already issued, use the MYVISA checker with the passport or travel-document number and sticker number. Employment and Student Passes have their own routes.
| Your situation | Where to check | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| Pending eVISA application | Sign in to MYVISA | Your own account, or ask the person who filed for an update |
| Issued eVISA | Verify an issued eVISA | Passport or travel-document number, sticker number and CAPTCHA |
| Employment Pass or ePASS | Employment Pass status guide | Use the employer’s ESD route for an application and the ePASS route for an issued pass |
| Student Pass handled by EMGS | EMGS application status | Travel-document number and nationality |
| Paper visa, PLKS or extension | Immigration online inquiries | Ask the issuer or employer which check applies to your document |
Pending eVISA vs verifying an issued eVISA
In MYVISA, the application may be under review, require more information or an interview, or show a decision. If someone else submitted it, ask them for an update. Keep account credentials private.
The MYVISA menu calls its public tool eVISA Status Check. That form verifies an eVISA that has already been issued. It needs the sticker number as well as the passport or travel-document number and CAPTCHA. Enter those details only on the official Immigration website.
An issued visa does not guarantee admission. The MYVISA terms describe conditions under which entry may be refused at the point of arrival.

Employment Pass and ePASS
The Employment Pass is filed by the employer through the Expatriate Services Division (ESD). It is a separate instrument from an eVISA. An eVISA does not establish the right to work in Malaysia.
Our existing guide explains the ESD application status form, what the employer and employee need for the check, and the difference between a pending application and an issued ePASS.
| Guide | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Employment Pass status check | ESD application status, ePASS verification and what to do after approval |
| Employment Pass preparation | Salary categories, effective dates and what to prepare before filing |
Student Pass
Use the EMGS application search if EMGS is handling your Student Pass. Its public form asks for your travel-document number and nationality. If you are unsure whether EMGS is handling it, check with your education institution.

What the FOMEMA result means
The Immigration portal’s FOMEMA inquiry covers foreign-worker medical screening. A screening result does not confirm that a visa or work pass has been issued. Ask the employer or issuing authority about the work pass separately.

If the check returns no result
Confirm the portal matches your visa type and filing route. Check that the reference or passport details match what was submitted. For the eVISA Status Check, both the passport or document number and the sticker number are required.
If the check still returns no result, contact the person or office responsible for the application. A no-result check does not by itself confirm or deny a particular visa status.
Document attestation for a Malaysia visa application
If the visa application or a Malaysian authority requires attested supporting documents, confirm the document type, origin and endorsements required. ThinkPlus coordinates document attestation and legalisation. We do not check, issue or obtain Malaysian eVISAs or Student Passes.
| Document need | Guide |
|---|---|
| Degree or transcript for a visa or work application | Degree attestation |
| Other document attestation and legalisation | Document services |

Can I check all Malaysia visa types in one portal?
No. The eVISA, Employment Pass, Student Pass and other categories use different official portals. Choose the check that matches your visa type and filing route.
Does an issued eVISA guarantee entry to Malaysia?
The MYVISA terms state that an issued visa does not guarantee admission. Conditions at the point of arrival may apply.
