Can an EOR support both local and foreign employees?

Last updated: May 22, 2026

Yes. MalayHire supports both Malaysian citizens and permanent residents under standard EOR terms. For foreign nationals, additional considerations apply depending on their immigration status:

  • Malaysian citizens and PRs — can be onboarded immediately under MalayHire with no immigration requirements
  • Foreign nationals already holding a valid work visa — can be onboarded once MalayHire confirms the visa allows employment under a different sponsor, or a transfer of sponsorship is arranged
  • Foreign nationals requiring an Employment Pass — MalayHire can assess eligibility and support the EP application process; timelines depend on the Immigration Department

Please contact us before submitting a foreign national employee to confirm eligibility and the correct process for your specific case.
