Misa2035 - You need to get offered a job and then the employer will make the application.

Hello Gravitas. My family and I will be relocating to Kota Kinabalu in May. My husband is british and will be under expatriate employment for 2-3 years. We have helpers from Indonesia and on social visit pass for 30 days. How do we process their work permit? Can I do it in KL and bring them to Kota Kinabalu? Thank you

No you need to deal with immigration directly in KK/Sabah

It may require hubby 's Visa Approval Letter or even his EP to be stamped in his passport before your DP and Maids passes can be processed.
Ask KK/Sabah for requirements because immigration is decentralised
(Will just point out domestic helpers associated with a foreigner working in Malaysia does not fall under the initial topic of this thread)
