Strategies for Overseas Students to Work in Malaysia

International students studying and working in Malaysia need to apply to their own institutions and ask them to issue a letter of recommendation for work, and then the representatives of the institutions apply to the Immigration Bureau for work. The contents of the recommendation letter need to include the time arrangement of international students during the semester and holidays, so that the examination and approval unit of the immigration bureau can know in detail when the international students will have a holiday and decide the appropriate working hours for international students.

Company application

Companies that employ foreign students should also apply to the Immigration Bureau to stamp their licenses and indicate the identity of their employers.

Monitoring requirements

After being approved, the Malaysian university where the foreign students are located also needs to monitor the foreign students themselves to determine their attendance and study, and report these situations to the Malaysian Immigration Bureau every three months.

recusal

If an international student fails to meet the qualification standards of his/her school during his/her work, the Malaysian Immigration Bureau will cancel his/her work qualification and refuse to approve his/her next application.

working range

The Malaysian government stipulates that international students studying in Malaysia can only work in local hotels, gas stations, restaurants and shopping malls, and it is strictly forbidden for international students to work in other places, industries or fields. When working in the above four places, international students can only engage in service, sales, or cleaning, and cannot engage in cashier or cashier work.
