The Dependent Pass allows the spouse and children of Malaysian pass holders to live in Malaysia alongside the principal holder.
The Malaysia Dependent Pass allows immediate family members — typically a spouse and children — of an Employment Pass, MM2H or other eligible pass holder to live in Malaysia for the same period as the principal holder.
The pass is tied to the status of the principal holder (the sponsor) and its validity matches theirs. It is a residence pass, not a work pass — dependents who wish to work generally need separate authorisation.
