Job trial in Kuala Lumpur by barclay116
Hi, I have a job offer as a teacher in Kuala Lumpur which has a 3 month probation period attached. The school will arrange my visa once the 3 months has passed, has anyone been in this position before and knows if I need a visa for the initial 3 ...
That is a question to ask the HR of the school who have made that arrangement. I am assuming they will ask you to complete the landing form as a tourist, and enter through the e-gates. Realistically, you do not need a flight to exit the country as ... Read More

Which nationality are you? I have a feeling that they may be attempting to put you on the tourist visa for the three months which I am pretty sure is the best way to do things - the school may be attempting to do this at no visa cost to themselves, ... Read More

International Driving License by eathenHunt
Hello "I have a valid international driving license from India. I am not a tourist鈥擨 live and work here. Am I allowed to drive here using my international license, which is valid for one year?"
I believe if you are here long term you need to have it converted to a Malaysian licence. I think they'll only accept your international driving permit for approx 4 months. I was stopped by police and told I need to convert it. I have a UK driving ... Read More
