We have noticed several issues with Malaysian missions overseas in handling citizenship applications. In December 2024, we received confirmation from MOFA and KDN that citizenship applications can now be made at Malaysian missions worldwide. A new directive has been issued to all Malaysian missions globally to ensure no further mistakes occur in the process. You may proceed to your nearest Malaysian mission to apply. If your application is still rejected or you encounter any issues, please update us.
If you have the time and financial resources to travel to Putrajaya and submit your application in person, we highly recommend doing so. This will help avoid delays and potential issues with your application. Overseas applications must be sent to JPN Putrajaya via diplomatic pouch, which carries the risk of months-long delays and the possibility of the application going missing.
