KUALA LUMPUR: A new integrated platform will reduce the time it takes to approve employment pass applications for expatriates from months previously to just 20 working days, says human resources minister Steven Sim.
Sim said Xpats Gateway now integrates the processes involving the labour department’s Integrated Foreign Workers Management System (ePPAx), MYFutureJobs, and the immigration department’s expatriate services division.
“The fully integrated system now consolidates the previously fragmented processes under the labour department, the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso), and the immigration department’s expatriate services division into a single end-to-end platform.
