Hi experts,
I'm working in a company with 6-P visa status. Now I wish to change my company. How do I do that?
Please experts need your opinion.

Thank you

The new employer makes the application. http://www.fwcms.com.my/

The employer needs to be within the quota (number of FW employees allowed) that they have been allocated.
BUT
"Foreign Workers are allowed to work in this country on a yearly basis up to 10 years. However, those registered under the 6P Program is allowed to work up to 3 years only."

Thnx a lot...
How I get the detail information about it.

Go to immigration and sit with an Officer.

However, I suggest your employer makes the application and sees what happens.

Worst case scenario, I think you can reapply from outside Malaysia after 3 month cooling   off period after the 3 years expires and you leave the country.
