Work permits generally last
between six months and five years, depending on the duration of the work
contract and the type of visa. Application forms are mostly in Bahasa Malaysia,
and applications for Malaysian work permits are done within Malaysia.
The Malaysian government generally issues three different types of work
permits:
Professional Visit Pass
The Professional Visit Pass is
issued to foreigners employed by an overseas company but working with a company
in Malaysia. This pass is normally appropriate for technical experts and
trainees, as well as volunteers. The Professional Pass is normally valid for
short periods of around six months to a year.
Temporary Employment Pass
A Temporary Employment Pass is
for unskilled or semi-skilled workers in the manufacturing, agriculture,
construction and services fields. These are for jobs that pay less than RM5,000
per month. The pass is normally valid for three years, with extensions
available on a yearly basis. Before the work permit can be issued, quota
approval needs to be granted from the Local Centre of Approval, Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
Employment Pass
An Employment Pass applies to
those wanting to work in Malaysia and who have specific skills, generally in
technical or managerial positions. It is usually issued for a minimum period of
two years. Before the Employment Pass can be issued, the employment of the
foreign worker must be approved by the Expatriate Committee or the relevant
regulatory agency.
