SEPANG: Amid the ongoing improvements in immigration facilities as part of the visa liberalisation plan for visitors to Malaysia, the Immigration Department has given the assurance that the issuing of any Not To Land (NTL) order will continue to follow due process and the standard operating procedure (SOP).

Addressing concerns that the visa liberalisation plan will make the entry procedure easier, Immigration director-general Datuk Ruslin Jusoh said even with the plan, all the existing requirements and SOP for entering Malaysia will be strictly adhered to without any change.
