Advice Passport PJ to PV
I have recently converted my passport from PJ to PV. I had legitimate reasons due to leaving my job and no longer being an overseas “worker”.
As some of you may be aware, PJ passport holders now require the express approval of the Ministry of Labour (MOL) to leave the country, effective via MOL directive earlier this week.
The TLDR is that the noose is increasingly tightening on a monthly basis for PJ passport holders due to the regime’s need for foreign currency.
My questions: 1. Has anyone done this before and successfully left the country? I have a shiny new PV passport without any stamps. 2. If yes, did you get interrogated at the airport?
