Working in Malaysia: work permits

• The Employment Pass lets a foreign national take up professional employment with an organisation in Malaysia. The employer, not the worker, submits the application. Official information.
• Companies must register with the Immigration Department's Expatriate Services Division before submitting applications. Other roles fall under different passes, so check with the Immigration Department of Malaysia. Official information.
• Beware of fake job offers: genuine employers do not ask candidates to pay for a job, a visa or an interview. If an offer asks for money, do not pay. Check it with the company directly.

This section is general information, not legal or immigration advice. Rules change, so always check the current requirements with your employer and official government sources in Malaysia.
