Once you receive your queue number, proceed to the designated waiting area and wait for your number to be called.
5. Submission Documents
When called, submit your completed forms and documents to the officer. They will take your thumbprint for verification at the last page of your form.
- Confirmation of EPF Amount
After verification, the officer will provide you with a slip stating the total EPF amount available for withdrawal.
Important Notes
- You must withdraw your EPF money within three years after renouncing your citizenship.
- If your EPF data is not retrievable in the system, it may have been transferred to the Accountant General’s Department of Malaysia (Jabatan Akauntan Negara Malaysia). You will need to visit the respective department to apply for withdrawal.
- If your EPF balance exceeds RM10,000, you can only withdraw via cheque or bank draft. For amounts below RM10,000, you may opt for a bank transfer.
- The entire withdrawal process typically takes 1-2 months. KWSP will notify you via a call when your cheque or bank draft is ready for collection. You must personally collect it and bring your passport and Borang K for verification. The cheque or bank draft is only valid for three months from the date of issue.
- If you payment is via bank transfer, please ensure that your bank account is updated with your citizenship status. You can read on the guide here.
By following these steps, you can successfully withdraw your EPF savings without any hassle. Do ensure that you have all the required documents to avoid unnecessary delays in the process. The whole process can be done within an hour if there is no crowd. Hope you find this useful!
