The solution to this problem is very easy if you are willing to work in Malaysia and planning to support your family financially than you can look for a job and once your contract is made, your employer will then have to cancel your residence permit and apply for an Employment Pass.

It is really simple to apply for Employment pass in Malaysia if you can get employment and able to fulfill the requirements of Employment pass.

 

The employment pass process will be initiated by your Employer. They will have to submit legal documents to the nearest Malaysian Consulate confirming about your employment, along with that they will have to submit all the legal documents of the company i.e financial audits, nature of business and reason explaining why it is necessary to hire you.

  • Original Valid Passport
  • Employment Contract
  • Proof of your Immediate family member who already has a employment pass.
  • Relationship proof

 

Also, it is important to know that you are eligible to get Employment pass only if your salary is minimum RM 10000 for Category 1 of Employment pass or RM 5000 to RM 9999 for Category 2 of Employment pass.

Once you fall into any of this category only then you are allowed to apply for an Employment Pass.
