EMPLOYMENT PASS AND DEPENDANT’S PASS

Foreign resident? Malaysia welcomes you!

Employment Pass ("EP") is the most common relocation option for foreigners who want to operate their business and move to Malaysia. It’s a work visa that allows you to live and work as well as bring your family under Dependant’s Passes. We can prepare your EP within 4-6 months and you don’t have to fly in until it’s ready. If you already have one and want to switch your EP to another employer or your new company, we’ll be happy to help you too.
