Malaysia extends amnesty scheme deadline for undocumented workers
Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, July 14 -- Malaysia has further extended the amnesty deadline for undocumented foreign nationals including Nepalis.
Malaysian authorities, through the amnesty scheme introduced last November, offer an opportunity for undocumented foreign workers to either return home voluntarily without facing any legal action or apply for legal status.
The amnesty deadline, which ended last month, has been extended one more time until December 31.
The extension of the deadline is expected to benefit more than 10,000 undocumented Nepali workers in the Southeast Asian country who could not use the scheme before its deadline expired on June 30.
