What you get
We have proven experience guiding foreign IT hires through Employment Pass and related work-authorisation support — coordinated with recruitment or Employer of Record when you need a local employer.
- Guidance on which work authorisation may fit the role (e.g. Employment Pass for eligible skilled hires)
- Document checklist and application preparation support for the employer and candidate
- Coordination of sponsorship pathway — via your Malaysian entity or Tech Talent as Employer of Record
- Tracking and liaison through submission while Malaysian Immigration completes its review
Who this is for
- Foreign companies hiring IT talent in Malaysia without a local HR/immigration team
- Malaysian employers bringing in specialist or leadership IT hires who need an Employment Pass
- Staff augmentation or EOR engagements where the contractor/employee requires work authorisation
- Cases where recruitment and compliant employment need to stay in one coordinated process
How the process works

We share a checklist, review candidate and company documents, and help assemble a complete application pack before filing.
- 03
Submit & follow through
The application is submitted through the appropriate channel. We keep you updated on status and next steps while Malaysian Immigration completes its review.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who decides Employment Pass approval?
The Immigration Department of Malaysia (and related authorities) decide Employment Pass and other work authorisations. Tech Talent provides application support and coordination through documentation, sponsorship pathway, and submission follow-through.
How is this different from a visa-only service?
We support Employment Pass and work-visa applications as part of hiring and employing IT talent in Malaysia — typically alongside permanent recruitment, staff augmentation, or Employer of Record — so the pass sits with a real employment arrangement.
Can Tech Talent sponsor the pass?
Where you use our Employer of Record service, Tech Talent can act as the local legal employer and support the work-authorisation pathway for eligible foreign hires. If you already have a Malaysian entity, we can support the application while your company remains the sponsor.
What information do you need to start?
Candidate nationality and passport details, proposed job title and salary, start date, company registration details (or confirmation that you need EOR), and copies of key documents such as academic certificates and employment history. We confirm the full checklist after the brief.
How does this relate to EOR and recruitment fees?
Application support can sit with an EOR engagement, a contract placement, or a permanent hire. Recruitment placement fees and EOR monthly fees are separate from any Immigration levies or government charges. We explain the commercial structure in writing before work starts.
