New Guidelines for Foreign Worker Visa Extensions in 2025
NewsThe Department of Employment has updated the visa extension process for foreign workers to be clearer and more efficient in 2025, particularly for workers from Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar under the MOU system.
Key Changes:
- Simplified procedures — reduced from 5 steps to 3 steps
- Enhanced online submission — more processes available digitally
- Faster processing time — reduced from an average of 15 days to 7 days
- Earlier submission required — applications must be submitted at least 30 days before visa expiration
What Employers Should Prepare in Advance:
- Copy of worker’s passport
- Updated employment contract
- Medical examination certificate (issued within the last 3 months)
- Company documents (e.g., company registration certificate)
