Facilitation of smooth and fast investment into JS-SEZ is spearheaded by the Invest Malaysia Facilitation Service Centre Johor (IMFC-J), a jointly operated, state-federal one-stop centre. Led by Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA), Invest Johor, and Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), the centre’s strength lies in its sanctioned connection with various federal, state and local agencies and departments, and the relevant private entities. There are over 30 government agencies – Federal, Johor and Local Authorities – plus private entities, that are a part of the IMFC-J operations covering all the needs of an investor.
The facilitation services offered by IMFC-J start from pre-investment and go right through post-investment aftercare, which includes preliminary study, application and approval, project setup, construction, and commencement of the project.
IMFC-J also manages MACS, which stands for Malaysia Automated Clearance System—a system for expediting immigration clearance for certain foreign visitors—and the Expatriate Services, a facilitation service to expedite the approval process for the issuance of immigration passes for eligible expatriates and their dependents in Iskandar Malaysia. This service streamlines expatriates’ hiring for companies and has recently introduced XPATNOVA, an integrated expatriate online system for a faster, more accurate and transparent application and approval process.
