We are returning to Malaysia to apply for citizenship for my kids. What type of visa should we use for my kids and husband?

Long term stay

For children below 7 years old, they can use the Long-term Social Visit Pass (LTSVP). For children above 7 years old who are starting school, they need to obtain a student pass. However, according to the recent update by Immigration Wangsa Maju who responsible for student pass matters in Selangor, it has confirmed that LTSVP can be renewed up to 18 years old, allowing it to be used for school attendance as well. Nonetheless, they also mentioned that this depends on the school’s discretion. Different states may have different practices, so please check with your state immigration office for clarification.

For your husband, you may apply for a Long-Term Social Visit Pass (spouse visa). You can refer to the guide provided here, but it is best to cross-check the requirements with the Immigration Department to ensure accuracy.
