How to Apply eCheck Out Memo (eCOM) Online Using IMMI ePLKS Portal

Do you want to send your foreign worker back home legally? then don't forget to apply for Check Out Memo (COM) at ePLKS Portal, If your worker’s employment is ending (end of contract or termination), you will be required to submit a COM at Immigration to remove her employment records from you. Failure to apply for a COM will also result in a fine, especially when you want to hire another foreign worker & your previously hired worker may be blacklisted to enter Malaysia for not less than 5 years. 

The employer should ensure that the foreign employees return to their country of origin via the requested exit point on the date stipulated in the COM. If the employer fails to apply for the COM, the foreign workers are still considered to be under his employment and the employer is still responsible for the foreign workers.

Before the lunch of the ePLKS Portal, employers have to visit the nearest Jabatan Immigration (JIM) to apply for COM but after the lunch of the ePLKS Portal, you can apply right from your office table.
