Hi,

I have to also go through the process of incometax residence proof for income tax refund. Below are the documents required for residence certificate.

1. Confirmation Letter on whether the tax is borne by employer or employee.
2. EA Form 2015.
3. Monthly Tax Deduction Form (PCB) for 2015.
4. 2015 in & out Schedule.

You need to be physically in Malaysia for 183days within the same year but not necessarily consecutive days

The Certificate of Residence proves the number of days in Malaysia (on work permit, MM2H etc. - not as tourist).

Yes, the Residence Certificate is just about income tax, nothing to do with immigration.
