Employment Pass - Malaysia

The company has to show it has advertised the job and there were no Malaysian applicants suitable to appoint.

Basically if the skills are available in the Malaysian workforce there is no need to hire a foreigner.

Thank you very much for your prompt response Gravitas.

Still, I have some more queries..,

Do you think is there any special consideration since because the company is new to hire foreign talent and it has good paid-up capital and more than 20yrs in the industry with good financial records?

And is there any way to convince them saying that the allocated budget for this role cannot be filled with local because the industry is paying more for the same experienced local talent but still they can able to fill with expat?

Thanks

Hi Gravitas.

Any input?

I already told  you what the employer has to say to immigration

Thank you very much for your input.

Hello Gravitas,

I have one more query,

As of now, The ESD is asking for the Justification Letter while the company trying to register & activate their account with ESD at the first time. So if the ESD suppose approves the Justification and activate the company account then at the time of their first EP application do they reject the application? for the same reason (justification) or any?

Of course immigration may not find the justification put forward by the company to be strong enough proof that it is necessary to hire a foreigner and still reject the application.

Thanks for your prompt response.
