Malaysia Residence Pass Talent (RP-T) is a pretty recent addition to the Malaysian employment permits. It allows the owner to work in Malaysia up to 10 years despite the employer, and it can be renewed. Additionally, the employee’s spouse and children under the age of 18 can come to Malaysia as well. They are also allowed to work and study in Malaysia (first applies only to the spouse).

Malaysia Residence Pass owner is also allowed to bring their parents and children over the age of 18 with a Long-Term Social Visit Malaysia Permit, which is only valid for up to five years.


However, the Malaysia Residence Pass is only issued to talented foreign workers who meet certain criteria, so it is often called the Malaysian Talent Pass or Talent Visa.

Only foreign workers already in Malaysia can apply for a Talent Residence Pass.
