What is a Professional Work Permit Visa?
Professional Work Permit is an Employment Pass for two (2) years (DP10 Visa). Professional Work Permit is issued to Top Level Management (Company Directors, Managers) and Highly Skilled professionals. The Skilled categories are the same as in Western Countries – IT Professionals, Teachers, Doctors, Nurses, Managers and so on. Basically, it is an ‘Employment Pass’ issued by the Malaysian Government to Highly skilled expatriates to work in a reputable company in Malaysia. The initial validity of the pass is two (2) years but it can be extended for ten (10) years.
This Employment Pass has a high value in the International arena. Those individuals seeking to apply for Canadian, Australian, UK and USA Immigration/work permits have a higher probability of success once they qualify for the Malaysian Professional Work Permit. Malaysian companies are highly recognized all over the World. This enables their skilled working experiences to be recognized internationally. For example, Australia issues a three (3) months visa for a Working Individual in Malaysia to explore and to find jobs opportunities. Many Malaysian companies have branches in Western and Far East Countries, therefore an employee can request for a transfer to another company branch in USA, UK, Canada or Australia. This widens the horizon of an individual who is eventually planning to settle in the West and working in Malaysia for the short run.
