Hi I am a British citizen and my fiance is Somalian live in China we are coming to Malaysia and we will like to get married there we need help with the paper work

Gravitas

Contact the British High Commission in KL and the Somalia Embassy if there is one or another offering support for those nationals. Need single status certificate from respective country. Can apply for marriage license after being in Malaysia for 7 days but can't marry until earliest 21 days later but lisense is valid for 6 months. There is a lot of red tape getting various paperwork authenticated and approved. Additional time required after marriage to get the Marriage Certificate issued and need to be in Malaysia to apply for it.

I am working here in Malaysia KL with an permanent employment pass same with my fiance and his a taiwanese. People are saying that if we are a worker here in Malaysia We cannot get married even if we have a permanent employment pass.
I need your advise guys.
We want to get married by May and still clue less if we can or cannot do it in Malaysia.
Coz the process in Philippines is not our best option.

It's not considered Temporary as long as it's not VP pass so its a some what Permanent EP.

According to JPN, the 21 day wait time can be EXEMPTED as stated on their website below;

Can the 21-day period to publish the application form, notice of marriage and written declaration (JPN.KC02) be EXEMPTED for marriages to be solemnised at the National Registration Department?
YES. Parties intending to marry may apply for a special licence under Section 21 (1) of Act 164, where the application maybe made for a marriage licence without marriage notification and marriage declaration (JPN.KC01C) from the marriage registration authority in the state concerned. Payment for this special licence on approval is RM100.00 (one hundred ringgit).
