Malaysia offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, events, tourism, retail and marine activities, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and coastal Sabah. Popular island destinations include Langkawi, Penang, Tioman, Redang, Perhentian and parts of Sabah. The culture is multicultural, combining Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous traditions, with festivals, night markets and diverse food. Lifestyle ranges from busy city living to relaxed beach communities; tropical weather, humidity and monsoon seasons should be considered. Accommodation and transport are usually easier in major towns, while island living can be quieter and more seasonal. Malaysian citizens need no visa to work. Foreign applicants normally require an employer-sponsored Employment Pass arranged after a job offer; qualifications, salary and nationality rules apply. Check current immigration requirements before relocating.
