Hello everyone,
Before starting, Nemodot since I know you will be reading this please try to be a more positive lad about Malaysia and use better English. I've read enough of your comments in the Malaysia Forums and honesty I felt like I was reading the posts of a meth-head. Are you being paid to scare people off from ever visiting Malaysia? Because if you were it would make more sense than doing it for free! If you have anything (non-meth like & positive!) related to say please be my guest. I understand that the people you are advising are quite far off and your identity is anonymous but some basic manners should apply. Make us feel welcomed mate!
Getting to the point, my inquiry is about work permits for people below the age of 27. I've read in a few websites that only if you were an IT professional the minimum age goes down to 23.
Does this restriction apply to every sector? Are there no exceptions? For example, in Dubai we have free zone's with different visa/work permit rules and regulations. Most of the companies in these free zones are multinational foreign companies. Is there anything similar in Malaysia that allows professional foreigners below the age of 27 to work?
I visited Malaysia last year in September for 3 weeks and saw it to be very vibrant and similar to Dubai in many ways. I've seen and met a lot of young people so thought it was a place that was good for young expats even though salaries are not as high. I guess they probably just all looked young or were tourists!
Thanks in advance.
