A relatively recent development in Malaysian work permits is the Malaysia Residence Pass Talent (RPT). It is renewable and permits the holder to serve in Malaysia for up to 10 years without being reliant on a particular employer. Additionally, the spouse and minor children of the bearer of the Residence Pass are welcome in Malaysia.
Through a Malaysian Long-Term Social Visit Pass, the holder of a Malaysia Residence Pass is also permitted to accompany their parents and children who are older than 18. Only five years are allowed for the long-term social visit visa to be in effect. The Residence Pass Malaysia, commonly known as a Malaysian Talent Visa, is given out to talented overseas workers as well.
If you meet the requirements, you may apply for a Malaysian Residence Pass Talent.
