  • Extension for Pre-4th January 2024 Arrivals: Individuals who arrived in the Maldives before 4th January 2024 can extend their work permits until 4th July 2024 without needing a new medical report. This allows a grace period for those who were already in the country before the new regulations took effect.
  • Extension for Post-4th January 2024 Arrivals: For individuals arriving on or after 4th January 2024, the extension of work permit validity and fee payment is contingent upon having a valid work permit medical report.

  • Update Medicals: Update required before 4th July 2024 for permits expiring after this date.

System Notification!

Dear Valued System Users,

We would like to bring your attention to important updates regarding the Xpat system.

  1. The registration process for Xpat system accounts has been updated. All new users must now complete the registration via Efaas.
  2. With the update users who access the Xpat system using their Efaas credentials will no longer be able to log in using their old credentials (phone number and password).
  3. In order to maintain data accuracy and consistency, phone numbers and email addresses stored in the Xpat system will be automatically updated to match the information stored in Efaas.
  4. While users can still access the immigration portal (https://workpermit.egov.mv/Workpermit) using their old credentials (phone number and password), it is important to note that if your Efaas mobile number differs from the previously registered phone number, you must use the Efaas mobile number for login.
  5. For non-Efaas based Xpat account users who require modifications, it is now mandatory to link your account to Efaas. Subsequent changes should be requested exclusively through Efaas.
  6. Option for password resets will continue to be available for accessing the immigration portal.

If you have any inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team at 1500 or email [email protected]

We greatly appreciate your cooperation during this transition period.
