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: Warehouse and cargo jobs: the worker scheme (15 Asian countries), reopened case by case in 2025; managers: Employment Pass at RM 5,000+.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Foreigners may not drive trailer lorries (Transport Minister's statement); India is limited to cargo handling and a few sub-sectors; new Nepali hires halted since 1 October 2026.
Official source: Immigration Department of Malaysia: foreign workers. Checked November 2026.
