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—I 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

Most international schools want 2 years post QTS experience so schools may offer you a bit lower based on that, but just think about what your requirement is. It's not just about the salary but the full package and how it suits you. E.g. housing and ... Read More
