Changing jobs in Malaysia

If you're on an Employment Pass the minimum period of employment in Malaysia is two years, but this figure can change depending on the industry sector you are in. In which sector are you working? If you're on a temporary employment pass, this minimum does not apply. If you're living in Malaysia on a professional visit pass, you have to work for the company who employed you, you're not allowed to be directly employed by a Malaysian company. Which visa are you there on?

Furthermore, if you wish to change jobs and have one of the first two types of passes, there's a minimum three month "cooling-off" period that's enforced, though this chunk of time can be waived by the MID if your current employer signs a release letter or if proper justification is made.
