I just done the renewal of Malaysia International Passport recently. It is pretty easy, here are the steps:
1. Log on to this webpage https://eservices.imi.gov.my/MyPassport/
Please ensure you are using I.E. 7 or above.
2. Fill the particular, upload a latest photo (background must be BLUE color as per Malaysia standard) and pay online, for now only Visa or Master are accepted.
3. Wait for 2 hours, print out the online receipt and go to the preferred branch for the collection.
That's simple and easy. No queue and hassle free~
Info
- For 2 years, the date will commence on the day you apply. (Fee = RM 100)
- For 5 years, the date will commence on the *expire date. (Fee = RM 300)
In my case, my expiry date is on Nov 2011 and I choose 2 years, so about 5 months being 'burnt' as it commences on June 2011...
In conclusion, if you are not a frequent traveler, choose the 2 years renewal is better and cheaper~ RM100 for 2 years, RM 300 for 5 years? not 6 years? Think about it~
For 5 years, the date will commence on the *expire date. (Fee = RM 300)
ReplyDeleteMeans that in expired in Nov 2011, then the new expired date should be Nov 2016, nothing being "burnt", this worth it..
yes,i renew last year, i chose 5 yrs oso
ReplyDeletemy expiry no burnt, suppose expiry at june 2010, the officer even gave me same date n mth for my current passport expiry at june 2015 =D
lagipun the calculation like tis:
rm100 for 2 yrs, but 6mths b4 expiry u oredi cant use;
normally people calculate rm300 for 6yrs,
bear in mind, 1.5+1.5+1.5 yrs=4.5yrs=rm300
there is no different i paid rm300,then at 4.5yrs need renew,it is same~~
jus rm100 for those seldom travelling is worth
those travel alot,wasting time keep renew passport, need pantau expiry date then worry cant buy ticket etc.
different people different needs =)
mmm... it looks like a trick on Imi. Imi should able to renew base on the expiry date. It is just a matter want or don't want. Look like I gonna lodge a complain on it.
ReplyDeletemay i ask u when we fill in the passport number it will automatically select the passport type one right??
