There is a new pass for highly educated expatriates that want to move to and work in Malaysia; the Residence Pass-Talent (RP-T).
The RP-T was introduced in April 2011 by the Malaysian Government. It aims to attract and retain top talent in the country with a range of benefits. The RP-T will be offered to highly qualified expatriates seeking to continue living and working in Malaysia on a long-term basis.
The RP-T is a 10-year visa for working expatriates that does not need to be renewed with each new employer. The pass covers spouses and children up to the age of 18. Spouses are allowed to work under the RP-T and children are eligible to study in the country. Any dependants over the age of 18 (including parents) are eligible for a 5-year Social Visit Pass.
Applications can be made online and there are certain requirements that applicants must meet, including possessing five years work experience in the chosen field, three years work experience in Malaysia, and a gross taxable income of RM144,000 per annum.

After fulfilling all the criteria’s for RP-T(10 yrs Visa),
I applied for RP-T, 2 months ago but they rejected with below reasons:
[b]1. [/b]Your basic salary is still at the minimum range even you met the minimum requirement which RM 15,000. (My basic salary is 17,xxx.xx)
[b]2.[/b] Your current stay in Malaysia is 3 years and panel still consider as the minimum range of years(I am staying since 3.4+ yrs)
Your application may not be suitable to fall under RP-T currently. The respective team has advised you to stay under Employment Pass first.
I tried to call them but they are not giving proper reasons. Also they never reply to email as well.
Not sure when can i apply again. Let me know if anyone knows what to do next, would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pawan

Hello,
I lived and worked with a reputed company in Malaysia for about 5 years until 2013. I have the proof of filling the incometax return. Will it be considered as minimum period of stay and work in Malaysia. Can anybody reply if I am elligle to apply for RP-Talent Pass if my current stay is only few months.
Thank you very much.

Hi Chai,
Not sure if they consider still as you should be working with current employer. They also need few recommendations from your curent employer and all the documents should be stamped with the current employer e.g. recommendation letter from Company and candidate, current job profile, tax documents etc.
For me, they still rejected and said not fulfiling minimum criteria even though i am staying since more than 5 yrs ans salary is far more than expecations.
Thanks,
Pawan
