Hi there,
I was recently offered an internship placement in Malaysia this coming summer, lasting around 3 months. I've had informal talks with the company director who is looking into visas, but that a tourist one may be easiest as I would get 90 days. However for various reasons, I would much prefer to arrive on a work permit. I've contacted the Malaysian embassy who informed me that the company should apply online for a 'Professional Visa Pass - Category III'.
I have a couple of questions:
1. How long roughly would it take for this visa to issue? I have previously studied in Malaysia and it took them over two months to issue a student pass.
2. Would the company have to pay any fees, or sponsorship for my pass?
Thank you!!
