MALAYSIA Visa for my maid

You should ask your employer to submit an application explaining her length of service and request therefore an exception be granted. They will probably turn it down and expect you to appeal the decision. Don't start all the medical etc just test tbe water first

You will need to provide plenty of proof such as her passport stamps and legally endorsed contract of employment.

@Anandprakash81 Hello, we have a similar issue but coming from Singapore.  Did you manage to get your maid the permit?  Thanks

The thread is 5 years old, maybe the poster is long gone already.

But that time, as I understood it, the maid could continue working over the age limit if she kept the same job but new applications would be turned down. But even then, I did hear of cases where the govt made accommodation to keep the maid and employer together. For example, a remember a filipino maid who ended employment, went home, became over the age limit and was re-hired by the same old employer. So I think there is no single, hard rule.

The govt has changed its mind many times about foreign maids based on reports of maid abuse, especially Indonesians, so its hard to keep up with their day-to-day policies. I have a feeling that appeals for denied cases are common and the govt makes decisions case by case. Try your luck!
