Work permit processing time for Indian nationals?

From the ESD Guide:

Projection
The company is required to apply for a projection on expatriates it plans to hire for the current year. The projection is based on the number of expatriates it has identified, including existing expatriates for renewals and also new hires. If the numbers under the projection requested for the year has been fully utilised, the company may then request for new projection with the appropriate justification. The charter time for a decision on the projection request is 5 working days.

Position
If the position applied for is currently not in the system, the company will need to submit a position request. The charter time for adding a new position is 5 working days.

Glad to see you back on the Forum - Mohideen

Gravitas just for information.

Still i didn't get medical, Company didnt ask me to take mediacal. Once the company get projection on expatriate approval they will proceed for final approval to immigiration. That means i dont want to take medical in india? Or still they will ask to take medical in india?

As you know already my EP is catogery II.

Mohideen - IF a medical is required, it would be done partially in India and finalised after arrival.

Immigration will guide the process once the application is submitted to them. There are lots of FOMEMA medical centres available in all countries.

The ONLY reason a medical MIGHT be required is due to the work being in the construction sector.

Gravitas, quick question. I cant figure out the taxation in Malaysia. If I got 150k per year, how much taxes I need to pay after the 6th month? I see a lot of conflicting info online and 24% for example seems huge...Am I missing something?

Yes, it's a progressive rate. So lower salary components pay very low tax and then as the salary builds up in value, the higher amounts are taxed at higher rates.

Take a look at Page 7 of this brochure.

There is a RM9,000 tax free personal allowance so you would be due to pay tax on 141k per annum.

From the table on Page 7 - you will pay RM10.900 on the first 100k and the RM41k at 24%.  Total it up and then divide by 12 to get the monthly tax deduction.

Gravitas,
