Working in Malaysia

Malaysia offers hospitality opportunities in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, as well as resort destinations such as Langkawi, Penang, Sabah and Sarawak. Jobs are available in hotels, restaurants, resorts, tourism, kitchens, front office, events and wellness services. The culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous influences, and English is widely used in tourism and business. Lifestyle costs are moderate, although central Kuala Lumpur and resort islands can be more expensive. Employees normally need an employment pass or other work authorization arranged and sponsored by the employer; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Before relocating, confirm the contract, salary, service charge, accommodation, meals, insurance and transport. New arrivals should budget for deposits, commuting and initial living costs. Petaling Jaya is urban rather than an island, but it provides easy access to Malaysia’s coast and major travel destinations.
