Companies intending to hire expatriates in Malaysia must first register with the Expatriate Services Division (ESD) before submitting any expatriate-related applications.
ESD registration is mandatory and serves as the foundation for all expatriate pass applications, including Employment Pass, Professional Visit Pass, and other related categories.
Employers are responsible for ensuring that job roles, supporting documents, and justification for expatriate employment align with business operations and meet regulatory requirements.
Proper compliance with ESD procedures is essential to ensure application approval and ongoing eligibility.
