Malaysia's Immigration Department opens one-stop centre to expedite RTK 2.0 verification process

The Department has shared a list of things for employers to note before heading down to the centre, located at its HQ, for their appointment.

Employers registered under Malaysia's Workforce Recalibration Programme 2.0 (RTK 2.0) can now head down to a newly opened one-stop centre at Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia's (JIM) headquarters in Putrajaya for a verification process. 

This one-stop centre, which opened on 15 August 2023 (Tuesday), is dedicated to RTK 2.0, and employers and the undocumented immigrants (pendatang asing tanpa izin, or PATI) they are looking to hire will have to visit the centre together in order carry out the verification process.

According to a report by The Star in July, quoting a Bernama report, Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the opening of the centre aims to facilitate and expedite the RTK 2.0 process for registered employers. As cited in the report, employers and the workers can walk in to the centre for the verification process, without needing to wait for an appointment call by JIM.

In line with this, JIM shared on Tuesday a list of things to note for employers looking to do so:

• Employers must submit their RTK 2.0 registration portal slip and list of employees via email, to rekalibrasiv2@imi.gov.my.
• Employers are required to bring the following original documents and copies to the centre for verification, along with the employee:
  • RTK 2.0 registration portal slip
  • Companies Commission of Malaysia details
  • Employer identity card
  • If a representative is heading down, they must bring along a letter appointing them as representative, along with their identity card and their latest three months' Employees Provident Fund (EPF) statement.
  • Employers in the construction sector would need to attach a Letter of Award (LoA) document that has been stamped by the Inland Revenue Board (IRB), the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) levy payment slip, and the work contract that has the revenue stamp.
  • Employers in the laundry sector would need to attach an LoA document which has been stamped by the IRB.

Employers and their workers must be present during their appointment slot.

JIM added that employers with queries may submit them via the Online Enquiry System.
