The Immigration Department has announced that Malaysians can now apply for the 10-year passport through its MyOnline Passport service. The expanded online application option takes effect today, 2 November 2026, giving applicants the choice between two different validity periods.
Previously, online applications were limited to passports with a five-year validity period, while those opting for the 10-year version had to apply in person at an immigration office. Immigration director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban then said that the online application service would be expanded once all passport-issuing offices in Malaysia and overseas had completed the implementation rollout and the system was confirmed to be stable.
