Independent visa means the visa(EP) ur buying independently through some agencies by paying 5000RM or above(depends on the visa ur getting like MSC status or DP10) and u can work anywhere.

Here in malaysia most companies are not ready to pay 5000RM for visa so they are recruiting the people who already have EP.

Problems :

BY getting visa THROUGH agencies you may face problems LIKE
1. you may get fake visa
2. IF you not find any job , you may loose your money(since already you bought visa).
3. Visa can't be cancelled unless you pay tax -- paying tax is mandatory for EP.

Thanks,

Those agents selling these services are total scumbags. It is illegal. If caught you are an illegal immigrant!

As I said no such visa. Any one can google "immigration Malaysia" and find the immigration official website it is in English and clear! Anyone thinks they can get an easy visa to work anywhere doesn't realize the population of Malaysian would double overnight with Indonesians alone!

Oh geez.. Now I know.. thanks for that Info btw my friend said that my papers is already on the immigration of of Malaysia which they only wait for my appearance and my passport .. how reliable to believe is that?

You do see a lot of Chinese gals (PRC) in miniskirts at immigration lining up with one "male friend" in charge. In the past it was lots of Fillino gals. Some must have known what they were getting into but obviously some didn't. You need to be careful you are not caught up in a trafficking trap for prostitution.

Easy visa + easy job with lots of money + young girl = prostitution trafficking ring

Lots of Fillipinos everywhere as the Phillipines is an economic disaster area. Thailand is full of teachers on 1/3rd salry of white TEFL teachers but still far more money than in Fillipines.

There are loads of teachers applying to jobs we advertise - even though we state we won't hire them. Too mnay grads no jobs. A trafickers paradise - lure young women with promises of jobs, then take passport rape/beat them and threaten them with immigration jail. They should hang the traffickers but we all know why not..... but plesae anyone getting a "easy visa easy money and young woman" offer do check out carefully the person offering it. They use multi level marketing to get people to trust them. Maybe that friend doesn't realise that they are passing on a scumbag offer. Asian culture is to trust friends especially older people. But beware!
