Work and travel in Malaysia for 12 months with right to work up to 6 months per employer, available to Australian citizens aged 18-30.
The Work and Holiday Visa is a bilateral cultural exchange program for young adults aged 18–30 from Australia. It allows participants to travel and work temporarily, prioritizing holiday experience with work being incidental. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent tertiary qualifications and possess RM 3,000 in savings and valid health insurance.
The visa grants 12 months with temporary work authorization limited to 6 months per employer; prohibited roles include professional qualifications, entertainment, spa, and front-office positions. The fee is RM 90. No permanent residence pathway exists and the visa is non-renewable.
This visa is ideal for Australian gap-year travelers and recent graduates seeking cultural immersion and temporary work experience.
