Hello,

I am 22, I was born in UK & have lived here my whole life. My mother is Malaysian (with Malaysian passport) and my father was British. I want to come to Malaysia to work (I don't know the duration, maybe 1 year or more) but I cannot find the right information online regarding a work visa, etc.

Am I allowed to work in Malaysia? How can I do this? (I would like to return to UK afterwards, so giving up UK citizenship is not an option.)

If anyone could help I would be so grateful  smile.gif I have been researching online but can't find anything for this situation. Maybe it's because I get treated the same as any other UK citizen... I don't know. Thank you in advance!!

If I'm not mistaken, you need a company here to apply the Employment Pass for you. You can't do it by yourself.

3. Open your own business here and I am made to understand that there is no issue for you to work in your own company.

If I'm not mistaken, you need a local person holding a certain amount of shares in the business in order to register your business. Basically a foreigner need a local business partner.

Anyway I think the people in Jobs & Career sub forum can advise better on working visa matter. Whereas people in Finance, Biz & Investment corner can advise on the business opening part.
