SINGAPORE: Malaysian citizens with permanent resident (PR) status working in Singapore are now eligible to apply for the Periodic Travel Arrangement Program (PCA), according to the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore.
“The PCA application process for this category will begin on January 11, 2021,” the High Commission said on its official Facebook.
The Commission said that the inclusion of this category of workers in the PCA scheme will allow more Malaysian workers in Singapore to apply for a short-term leave after working in Singapore for at least 90 consecutive days.
“It is important to note that all workers returning to Singapore after their short-term leave are subject to the border health measures in place by the Government of the Republic of Singapore,” he said.
* The initial PCA, which took effect on August 17, only allows residents of Singapore and Malaysia, who have long-term immigration passes for business and work purposes in the other country, to enter for work purposes.
The PCA is a safe travel lane agreed between the two governments to support companies in Singapore and Malaysia by facilitating the movement of workers between the two countries.
Cross-border travel between Malaysia and Singapore has been strengthened since March last year to mitigate the spread of Covid-19.
