Extension levy remains at RM10,000 until new fee is gazetted

Break time: Foreign workers at a construction site in Kuala Lumpur. Despite the lowering of the levy, the fee remains the same until it is gazetted.

PETALING JAYA: The Immigration Department will still collect the previous rate of RM10,000 for the extension levy of foreign workers until it is officially gazetted, says its director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud.

He said they received the feedback from the Immigration Department’s foreign workers division on the collection of the extension levy for foreign workers who have worked in the country for more than 10 years.
