Hi Everyone,

I have accepted a job offer in an IT Company in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I have been offered MYR 7,000/month

Now the company is processing my employment pass/visa. I want to know how long it can take to get the approvals? (so that I can plan my upcoming weeks accordingly). What is the average time to get the Visa approved?

2120

2-3 days if paid a proper salary in my experience. By proper i mean over 8k.

As you are not as under 8k extra paperwork is required to prove why they are hiring a foreigner. That delays the whole process.

A lot of visa issues are due to tight arse employers ripping off people with too low salaries. They have worked out that pay low and lie about living costs gets people to apply.....

DP11 a week

what took longer if there are public holiday in between, or incomplete documents. late payment of levy also possible

Hi,
Is DP10 = Company Registration?
DP11 = Employment Pass Application?

That seems so fast, is that your recent experience?
