It is primarily available for senior or technically skilled professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) with specialist work experience, and on higher salaries.\n\nThe EP allows them to live and work legally in Malaysia for up to 60 months. It can then be considered for renewal, subject to approval.\n\nThe final decision on approvals for all Employment Pass applications (Category I, II, and III) will be at the discretion of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imi.gov.my\/index.php\/en\/home\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Immigration Department of Malaysia<\/a>. But before that, companies will need to submit an approval letter from the relevant agency or regulatory body in their sector, for each employment pass application.
