The Malaysian Immigration Department (JIM) is offering free passport replacements to flood victims throughout Malaysia. It said in a statement on Facebook that flood victims who have lost or damaged their passports can get their personal documents replaced for free. So, what should you know about it?
For your information, the owner will have to go to any nearby Immigration Office for passport replacement. In addition, the owner is required to bring along their identity card, original passport (if any) and police report (original & copy). For this process, no fee will be charged for the replacement of damaged or lost documents.
However, this is subject to the main conditions as set by the nearby Immigration Office, such as the passport is still valid and not less than six (6) months. The floods that are currently occurring in several states are due to more frequent heavy rains, as the country enters the transition phase of the Northeast Monsoon which is expected to continue until March next year.
