EXPATRIATE WORK PERMIT APPLICATION SERVICES
Note :
The stated service fee is excluding Government Immigration levy & visas fee. The Immigration fees are
between RM450 -1,800 per person per application for the initial year and may be reduced for subsequent years. Immigration visa fees are stated, assuming the applicants are not in Malaysia when endorsing their visa. Should the applicants be in Malaysia at the time of approval & endorsement, a journey performed fine of RM500 per passport holder is applicable.
PROCEDURES
Applicants must have a valid reason for application for a work permit e.g. the incumbent must have a vacancy with a special skill that a local Malaysian cannot fill or beneficiary interest in the company. We will send you a list of all the required documents we will need for your application which you will have to provide for us. The rest of the documentation will be provided by us. Upon submission of all relevant documents, it normally takes 2-3 weeks for the results of the application to be informed. Once the approval is obtained, the incumbent will have to have his passport endorsed with the work visa or a calling visa.
Nationals from the blacklisted countries above will have to have their passport endorsed at the Malaysian Embassy of their country of origin whereas other nationals can be or remain in Malaysia and have their endorsements done in Kuala Lumpur.
DURATION OF PERMITS & DEPENDENTS VISAS
Please note that while we endeavor to apply for the approval of a maximum period of time permitted, the ultimate length of stay approved is not a factor we are in control of and we wish to highlight at this point that though our experience has shown that most of the DP10 applications are approved for a 2 year period but some dependents may not get the same period of time due to some reasons only the Immigration officer knows.
Most of the time, parents and in-laws will only get a 6 month visa extendable every 6 months or at most a year. Very seldom, the visas are for less than 2 years for the professional expat work permit under a private limited company but in the case of a representative office the visas are usually less than the full period of the approval as the processing of the permits are only done after the approval and the visas will then only be extended from the commencement of the date of submission of the Immigration application documents and not the commencement of the representative office approval. Therefore the length of visas for the representative offices are usually less than the period of time approved for the representative office.
With Immigration, anything is possible as there is no hard or fast rules for the final decision in the dept. and officers have discretionary powers as they have to use them to feel out and identify non-genuine cases e.g. if you declare too low a salary, they may give you a 6 months extension instead of a year.
PAYMENT TERMS
% upon submission of application to the relevant authorities (receipt of acknowledgement will be presented) and balance upon receipt of letter of approvals but before endorsement of visas.
