Malaysian Passport validity for 2 years
Just recently in September this year, Malaysia government has introduced a lower rate Malaysian Passport fees for the infrequent travelers. How low is the rate anyway?
2 years validity of Malaysian Passport cost only RM100. But do you really think this is worth renewing for 2 years….which means you have only 1.5 years of actual passport validity. Normally, a foreign country requires your international Malaysian passport to have at least 6 months validity to enter into their country.
Let’s do the maths:
2 years for RM100
6 years will be around RM300
But, remember you wont get your actual passport validity for up to 6 years as mentioned earlier.
(Normal5 years rate @ RM300 for 32 pages & RM600 for 64pages)
In my opinion, i still think opting for the 5 years normal rate of RM300 is worthwhile and reduce your hassle torenew every 1.5 years. However, if you know you will only leave the country only few times at that certain 2 years validity of your Malaysian passport, then, you may opt for this.
Additionally, If you are those travelers that plan trips with infrequent interval lets say a trip on every alternate year then surely the RM300 -5 years Malaysian passport is a better choice.
