Work Permit Application

Apply work permit for foreign workers.

A work permit is also known as an employment pass or work visa issued by the Expatriate Committee (EC) or relevant regulatory agencies to the expatriate. With the work permit, the expatriates can stay legally in Malaysia to work.

Since 4th May 2015, Malaysia has implemented the regulation of Immigration Security Clearance (ISC) for foreign workers before visa issuance at Embassy Malaysia. The foreign worker candidates are required to carry out the mandatory biometric security check at ISC centres of their respective countries. Thus, the person who failed to obtain ISC certificate is prohibited to enter Malaysia. After passing the ISC, the foreign worker candidates can proceed with the consecutive processes like medical checks, documentation preparation, and job applications.
