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.
