Now that most borders have opened up, many Malaysians are looking to go out of the country for a different view.
The most important thing before going overseas is to actually get a passport for first-timers or to renew one for others.
Currently, UTCs and immigration offices are filled with people even in the wee hours of the morning and this has caused a surge of complaints from the public.
So in order to make sure that everyone can get their passports on time for their overseas trip, the immigration department has said on Facebook that there will be several branches of passport-issuing immigration offices nationwide that will be operating 7 days a week starting 28 January. They are:
- Menara Ikhlas, Putrajaya,
- Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur,
- Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur,
- Shah Alam, Selangor,
- Kelana Jaya, Selangor,
