Job Opportunities After Graduation in Malaysia for International Students
The "Stay Back" Option
Unlike UK/Australia, Malaysia doesn't offer an automatic 2-year post-study work visa. HOWEVER, you can stay if you secure a job with an MSC Status company (Tech companies) which can sponsor your Employment Pass.
High Demand Sectors
- IT & Software: Huge shortage of programmers, data scientists, and AI specialists.
- Engineering: Civil and Mechanical engineers are needed for ongoing infrastructure projects.
- Language Support: Arab speakers are in high demand for MNCs (like Shell, Dell, HSBC) handling Middle East support centers in KL.
Digital Nomad Visa (DE Rantau)
Recently, Malaysia launched the DE Rantau Pass, allowing digital freelancers to live in Malaysia for up to 12 months. This is a great option for fresh graduates with freelance skills.
