Post new topic

Hi
I am currently working in India and I got offer in Malaysia, my employer is started processing my visa and recently he told me that Stage 1 verification is in process.
1. Can any one help me to know the end -end process of work Visa and how long it will take time?
2. How can I check the stage 1 status, as my employer not provided any details of the process.

If they are applying through ESD there is a checker on their website but not sure it is still operational. Process 1-2 months. Indian nationals need security clearance and a Visa with Reference (VDR) obtained pre departure by the passport holder from Malaysian High Commission or Consulate. Allow 5 working days for processing the VDR

Thanks Gravitas for quick reply.
I got update from my employer .He submitted my application to MDEC on end of Dec 2018 and one time application returned on 1st week of Jan 2019 and they resubmitted.

Application Status - In MDEC: Decision Stage
How much time it will take to approve? and there is any rejection possibilities?

Gravitas

If you are Indian because of security check and approval also needed for calling visa (collected before departure from India) need to allow 20 working days minimum

Hi Gravitas
         I can see my DP10 status(stage 1) as APPROVE in imm site (https://eservices.imi.gov.my/myimms/PDStatus ) .
What would be the next step and how much processing time it will take?

Gravitas

Next step is arrangements for the Calling Visa. Hopefully this has also been approved and the stage 1 approval letter will contain details.

So two scenarios.
More time to get approval for the VDR (Visa with Reference)
This already available via Stage 1 letter.

Next step is to apply and collect the VDR in home country. http://www.vfsglobal.com/malaysia/india/wrf.html
(Check details carefully)

Hi Gravitas,
        My status shown as APPROVE in imm site(https://eservices.imi.gov.my/myimms/PDStatus) on 6th Feb, but for my employer still it is showing  "In MDEC: Decision Stage" in MDEC site. 
Is there any time lag between imm & MDEC ?

Gravitas

MDEC has a checker? What is the link please?  This is something new.

I don't know the link of that portal, It is the portal where my employer track all their applications.
