Official Information

Overview

Extended stay pass for foreign nationals aged 50+ with relatives in Malaysia, allowing prolonged social visits with family sponsorship.

The Long-Term Social Visit Pass (LTSVP) for senior citizens is a humanitarian-focused immigration provision designed to allow elderly foreign nationals to reside with their family members in Malaysia. It recognizes the cultural importance of multi-generational households and the need for elderly parents to be cared for by their children who are already established in the country. By providing this pathway, the government facilitates family reunification for senior citizens who might otherwise be isolated, ensuring they can receive the support and care of their relatives within a stable, long-term legal environment.

This pass is generally intended for elderly parents of Malaysian citizens or permanent residents. While specific age requirements and sponsorship conditions apply, the pass is distinct because it is centered on family caregiving rather than employment or investment. It is an essential tool for families to ensure their elderly relatives can live in comfort and safety under their direct supervision, providing a compassionate solution for families who wish to maintain their bonds across generations while living in Malaysia.
