Hi Gravitas,. Waiting for ur reply in above queries??

Gravitas

I already answered when you asked the same question on another discussion.

Gravitas

Basically you need a professional employment pass and a salary of RM 5000 to get dependent pass.

Foreign Worker's can't have dependents.

The guardian visa requires proof of offshore income but you work in Malaysia so it is never going to work I am afraid

Syed_md

Just I wanted to know if I cancel my Foriegn worker pass then is there any cooling period to apply for professional EP ?? How about if I come in tourist visa to Malaysia n apply later when cooling period finishes?

Gravitas

Employer has to apply and you have to be outside Malaysia while the process is carried out and enter on a VDR. No cooling I don't think but job would have to be considerably different and you need  university degree and 2-3 yrs relevant experience or diploma and 5 yrs experience

There is a guide at the ESD website
