Validity and Scope
Permits generally cover unskilled/semi-skilled workers for up to two years, limited by passport, bond or employment validity. Work is restricted to the named employer, occupation and sector; other businesses are prohibited.
Salary, Upkeep and Medical Duties
Employers need valid passes, declared fixed pay, upkeep/medical costs, suitable housing, insurance and applicable Primary Care Plans. Arrange registered-doctor examinations, monthly levy and non-Malaysian bonds; do not demand benefits for hiring or employment changes.
Residence, Pass and Marriage/Pregnancy Conditions
Workers must use the assigned residence, notify intended moves and show digital/physical passes on official request. Marriage to citizens/PRs needs MOM approval even after expiry/cancellation/revocation. Pregnancy and birth restrictions have an approved-marriage exception; consult the official rule for individual circumstances.
When Employment Ends
Cancel within one week after the last day of notice, settle outstanding employment matters and cover repatriation including checked luggage. Track work end, cancellation, legal stay and travel separately; an appeal does not itself authorise work.
