Destination Guide

Malaysia offers varied opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, retail, technology, healthcare, education and marine activities. Kota Kinabalu, on Borneo’s island of Sabah, is a relaxed coastal city with beaches, islands, markets and access to Mount Kinabalu. Local culture blends Malay, Chinese and Indigenous traditions, with Malay as the national language and English widely used in tourism. Lifestyle costs are generally lower than Kuala Lumpur, although central accommodation and imported goods can be expensive. Public transport is improving, but cars and ride-hailing are useful outside the city centre. Foreign applicants normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass or other appropriate work authorisation; do not work on a tourist visa. Employers typically handle immigration applications, subject to approval and eligibility. Bring certified documents, check medical and entry requirements, and budget for deposits, transport and initial living expenses.
