Employment Pass and Immigration Services for Malaysia
Bringing foreign staff or founders into Malaysia requires the company itself to be eligible before any individual application can succeed — paid-up capital, the right activity registration and, in some cases, sponsorship registration with the relevant authority. We sequence that correctly instead of filing an application that will be rejected on the company’s facts.
| Company eligibility first | Paid-up capital, correct activity code and, in some cases, sponsorship registration must be in place before an individual application is filed |
| Pass types | Employment Pass for the principal hire; Dependant Pass for spouses and children |
| Sequencing | Company-level registrations are completed before the individual application to avoid a rejection on the company’s facts |
What’s included
- Employer and sponsorship registration
- Employment Pass applications, renewals and cancellations
- Dependant passes for spouses and children
- Advice on paid-up capital and structural prerequisites before you commit to a hire
Frequently asked questions
Does my company need to meet certain requirements before hiring foreign staff?
Yes. Paid-up capital and the company’s registered business activity determine whether it can sponsor an Employment Pass at all — we assess and, where needed, adjust this before any individual application is filed.
Can my spouse and children join me in Malaysia on my Employment Pass?
Yes, spouses and children can generally be sponsored on a Dependant Pass once the principal Employment Pass is approved.
How long does an Employment Pass take to process?
Timelines vary by category and by how complete the company’s supporting documents are. We sequence the company-level registrations first so the individual application isn’t filed prematurely and delayed.
