Job and PR Pathways After Study
Job and PR Pathways After Study in Malaysia
Job Pathways After Study
International graduates may apply for employment in sectors needing skilled professionals (e.g., engineering, IT, finance, biotechnology, education).
To work legally, graduates must obtain an Employment Pass (EP) sponsored by a Malaysian employer.
Employment Pass approval depends on job type, salary level (usually minimum RM 3,000–5,000/month), and employer’s eligibility to hire foreigners.
Some graduates may secure internships or training schemes that can lead to full-time employment.
PR (Permanent Residency) Pathways
Malaysia does not offer direct PR after study; graduates must work for several years first.
A foreigner may apply for PR typically after 5+ years of continuous residence on long-term employment passes and with strong contributions (e.g., skills, investment).
PR eligibility is enhanced by having a Malaysian spouse, exceptional talent, or significant investment in Malaysia.
The PR process is stringent and assessed case-by-case by the Immigration Department of Malaysia.
