Employer-sponsored technical work permit for Bachelor's degree holders with 3+ years experience and RM36,000+ annual income, renewable.
The Employment Pass Category III (EP III) is Malaysia's skilled worker permit for foreign professionals earning a minimum monthly salary of RM5,000. Issued by employers, it targets technicians, designers, and specialists with a Bachelor's degree and at least three years' experience. The pass addresses gaps in technical sectors where local expertise is temporarily unavailable.
EP III holders benefit from renewable status, with a maximum validity of 12 months and the ability to renew up to two times only, provided the employer maintains sponsorship and salary requirements. Processing typically takes approximately 5 working days. Dependants may accompany the primary visa holder under restricted conditions.
This visa is ideal for skilled technical professionals with specialized expertise who hold job offers from Malaysian employers and intend to work on project-based or temporary assignments.
