Spent over 5 hours today for work permit renewal.  They changed the process so now we submit paperwork as if it is the FIRST time!

Its ok though, in the end we save money because they now are basing fees in large part on a security bond.  That will run the 2k we expected and then renewals are just under a hundred bucks (ringgit).  There might be other fees or costs but I’ll exclude them (like my extension fee).

In the morning I’ll go and get a few pages added to my passport – its nearly full!  Should get all the approvals done and new permit this month sometime. While the process was really really slow, the customer service was good.  Only a few were grim faced most being friendly.

Waiting!:
