Working in Malaysia

Malaysia offers varied opportunities in hospitality, finance, tourism, technology, manufacturing and education, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Penang, Langkawi and Sabah. The culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous influences, and English is widely used in business and hotels. Lifestyle costs are generally moderate, although Kuala Lumpur and central tourist areas are more expensive. Malaysia has tropical weather, excellent food, convenient shopping and good regional travel connections. Foreign employees usually need an employment pass sponsored by their employer; approval depends on the role, salary, qualifications and current immigration rules. Employers commonly assist with documentation and relocation arrangements. New arrivals should confirm medical requirements, tax registration, accommodation and banking procedures before travelling. Johor Bahru is particularly convenient for access to Singapore, but commuting and housing costs should be considered carefully.
