PUTRAJAYA, March 10 — Counters for the Migrant Repatriation Programme 2.0 (PRM 2.0) will be temporarily closed from March 19 to 25 in conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration.
The Immigration Department (JIM) announced on X that the closure will involve all immigration offices nationwide that handle matters related to the programme.
The department also reminded that the Migrant Repatriation Programme 2.0 is scheduled to end on April 30, 2026.
PRM 2.0 is an amnesty initiative that allows undocumented migrants to voluntarily return to their home countries. Participants are exempted from prosecution while being given the opportunity to regularise their status by paying compounds for certain offences.
The programme has been in effect since May 19, 2025.
The government previously approved an extension of the programme from May 19, 2025 until April 30, 2026, covering Peninsular Malaysia as well as the Federal Territory of Labuan.
Under the scheme, a compound of RM500 is imposed for offences such as entering or staying in Malaysia without a valid pass, or overstaying after a pass has expired. A RM300 compound is imposed for violations of pass conditions. — Bernama
