🇲🇾 Malaysia visas for Philippines citizens

Employer-sponsored pass with salary bands revised in June 2026: Category I from RM 20,000/month, Category II RM 10,000–19,999 (both up to 10 years), Category III RM 5,000–9,999 (max 5 years). The employer must be ESD-registered with an approved expatriate quota. Filipino workers also complete DMW processing for an Overseas Employment Certificate before departure.

Short-term pass (up to 12 months, non-renewable in most cases) for professionals who remain employed and paid by their overseas company while working with a Malaysian host — common for technical support, training, and project assignments. No salary minimum; the host company applies via the ESD, and a personal bond applies.
