Working in Malaysia

Malaysia offers hospitality, tourism, food and beverage, retail, technology and business opportunities, particularly in Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Penang, Sabah and Sarawak. Although Kuala Lumpur is not an island, it is a major gateway to Malaysia’s island destinations. The culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous influences, diverse cuisine, festivals and generally welcoming communities. Lifestyle ranges from busy city living to relaxed coastal and island communities, with affordable transport and varied accommodation. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored employment pass before starting work; requirements depend on nationality, salary and position, and the employer usually manages the application. Relocating workers should budget for housing deposits, medical coverage, transport and document processing. English is widely used in hotels, while Malay is the national language.
