In two months time (++). You have to wait for the Visa with Reference to be authorized and then go and get it put into your passport in India. This is done AFTER the employment pass is approved....

I had checked the status from the above link given but it is showing "Return to the Company" Means what? Need your valuable comments.

That comment usually means there is a problem with the application.

Paperwork is incomplete or inaccurate (there are new salary requirements*)
Insufficient advertising of vacancy
Malaysian candidates are available.聽
Foreign hires are not deemed necessary for the position
Job description and candidate CV are mismatched (e.g. over/under qualified)
Insufficient relevant experience
Applicant needs to be outside of the country during Stage 1 (first EP application)
Current EP needs cancellation and/or NOC required

I am sure the company will let you know the problem, if you enquire.

There are other issues but they are to do with the company itself. It needs a聽 certain paid up capital and also to have space in their quota (i.e. ratio of local to foreign hires)

* These came into force on 1st September and are changes to Category I, II and III Professional Passes. The length of contracts has also changed. e.g. salary of RM10k per month is now the requirement for Category I

ESD processes so-called Professional Pass (Cat. 1-3) and there is another system - The Foreign Workers Centralized Management System. Two different processing systems. Quite often ASEAN professionals are managed through FWCMS.

Thank you Gravitas so it means i can comeback again to work in the same company after 3 years..

But how about the visa? do I need again to wait for a new VDR while in the cooling period to be stamp again in my passport in the philippines or no need for a new visa?

When they apply for your employment pass they will automatically apply for the vdr. You can check your status at the link below:

Definitely NOT legally.

Get your driving license sorted out before you arrive as well - because it needs action -
