Working in Malaysia

Malaysia offers hospitality opportunities in destinations including Langkawi, Penang, Sabah, Sarawak and resort islands on both the peninsula and Borneo. Miri is on the island of Borneo and has a relaxed, multicultural lifestyle, tropical weather, affordable local food and access to beaches, rainforests and national parks. Malay, English and Mandarin are widely used, while local Sarawakian cultures add to the community atmosphere. Living costs are generally lower than in Kuala Lumpur, though housing and transport depend on the area. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship for the appropriate work authorization, such as an employment pass or foreign-worker permit, before starting work. Confirm eligibility, medical requirements, accommodation, insurance and relocation support directly with Marriott. New arrivals should also budget for deposits, transport and initial living expenses.
