Thanx for your reply.

I have not any information on the process of getting EP for person , who will come on the tourist visa.


Do i need to describe the purpose of journey to malaysia while applying the tourist visa in india ? If yes, then what documents are required from malaysian employer in tourist visa process ?


Thanks

Wilson

@ preetsingh I think all document process will be taken care from your company, just confirm with them the process in letter head with company stamp

yes it is possible I am telling you from my experience.
You can transfer to EP from your visit visa. they will add one sticker called Journey Performed and i think you need to pay extra 500 MYR
