Can I work in Malaysia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Employment Pass with a Bank Negara letter; RM 5,000+ basic (about USD 1,150) after a 14-day MYFutureJobs advert (exempt at RM 15,000+); 10 years from RM 10,000.
Before you apply: Dealing, advising and senior roles usually need a regulator's licence or approval, which checks your honesty, skills and finances. Ask if your job does.
Watch for: Only basic pay counts towards the RM 5,000 floor, not allowances; from 1 January 2027 EP II and III applications need a succession plan to train a Malaysian.
