Types of Work permits for Malaysia
The Malaysian government generally issues three different types of work permits:

• Members of international organizations or agencies
• Filmmakers, producers, photographers, actors, directors, etc.
• Invited speakers, educators, and lecturers
• Equipment installation or maintenance experts

*Temporary Employment Pass
A Temporary Employment Pass is for unskilled or semi-skilled workers in the manufacturing, agriculture, construction and services fields. These are for jobs that pay less than RM5000 per month. The pass is normally valid for less than 2 years, with extensions available on a yearly basis. Before the work permit can be issued, quota approval needs to be granted from the Local Centre of Approval, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
