Expatriate Services Division (ESD)

The first point of contact for companies wanting to employ eligible expatriates.

The Expatriate Services Division (ESD) is spearheaded by the Joint Working Committee – Expatriate (JWC-E), which comprises the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA), the Immigration Department of Malaysia (JIM) and us, Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp). It was developed to coordinate efforts and align policies and programmes to improve expat-related policies, so that Malaysia can become a preferred country for investments and skilled expatriates. 

Companies that wish to hire expatriates will first need to be registered in the ESD on-line system. Upon approval, the company may then submit individual applications for the relevant passes.
