The government announced the opening of the country’s borders as of April 1, which will exempt travelers from mandatory quarantine if they meet certain qualifications when entering the country.
Are you planning to leave the country? It is advisable to check if you have been blacklisted by the Malaysian Immigration Department before leaving the country. If you have defaulted on personal income tax, corporate tax, bankruptcy, etc., you may be prohibited from leaving the country by the Malaysian Immigration Department.
To find out if you have been blacklisted, you can visit the official website of the Immigration Department at https://sspi.imi.gov.my/SSPI/. Then enter your ID number in the Nombor Kad Pengenalan section and click on Semak.
If Tiada Halangan appears in the system, then it means you are not blacklisted and you are free to leave the country. On the contrary, if you are restricted from leaving the country, then the system will ask you to go to the nearest immigration office in Malaysia to get the details.
In fact, not only the Inland Revenue Department, the Customs Department, the National Bank, the Poor Press Board, the Securities Commission, the Bukit Aman Police Force and the Anti-Corruption Commission have the authority to blacklist people from the Immigration Department, but also the Prime Minister’s Department, the Labour Department and our embassies abroad can recommend that certain people be barred from leaving the country. Other banned persons include those who have violated specific laws.
Attention! It is also advisable to know the standard operating procedures (SOPs) implemented by the country before leaving the country, such as whether quarantine is required, whether an application for entry is required first, etc.
