Applicants who are allowed to enter the country are foreign wives or husbands and children of Malaysian citizens or permanent residents.

They have to be legally married and their marriages ought to have been registered with the National Registration Department, State Islamic Religious Department or the State Islamic Religious Council or registered with the Malaysian Embassy or the Malaysian High Commission abroad.

Khairul Dzaimee said the application must be sent via email gforce@imi.gov.my for evaluation before entry permission is given.
