Immigration & Expat Services (ESD)

Attracting international talent is key to scaling businesses in Malaysia. Our Immigration & Expat Services provide streamlined solutions for companies navigating the **Expatriate Services Division (ESD)** and the **Malaysia Expatriate Talent Service Centre (MYXpats)**.

With our expert guidance, we manage the entire visa lifecycle—from corporate registration on the ESD portal to individual work permit endorsements, reducing processing time and ensuring full compliance with Malaysia's immigration policies.

1. Corporate ESD Registration & Account Setup

Before a company can sponsor foreign talent, it must be registered and approved by the Expatriate Services Division (ESD). We assist in preparing the extensive corporate profile required for validation:

• Company Vetting: Aligning paid-up capital, business licenses, tenancy agreements, and corporate financials with ESD requirements.
• Submission & Verification: Uploading profile details and coordinating with the Immigration Department during the verification phase.
• E-Xpats & Projection Quota: Requesting and securing annual expatriate quotas based on company growth and local workforce ratios.

2. Expatriate Employment Pass (EP) Applications

We process all three main tiers of the Malaysian Employment Pass (EP), ensuring that candidate backgrounds match regulatory specifications:

• Employment Pass (Category I): For key executive roles with a monthly basic salary of RM10,000 and above, under contracts of up to 5 years (renewable).
• Employment Pass (Category II): For managerial and professional roles with a basic salary of RM5,000 to RM9,999, under contracts of up to 2 years.
• Employment Pass (Category III): For technical or specialized positions with a basic salary of RM3,000 to RM4,999, under contracts of up to 12 months.
• Professional Visit Pass (PVP): For temporary technical consultants, trainers, or artists working on assignments for up to 12 months.

3. Family & Dependent Visas

Relocating key executives requires support for their family members. We coordinate auxiliary pass applications to keep families together:

• Dependant Pass: For legally married spouses and children under 18 years of age.
• Long-Term Social Visit Pass (LTSVP): For parents, common-law partners, or children over 18 (unmarried).
• Social Visit Pass (Social/Business): Short-term social visit permits for immediate family visits.
