Employment pass duration

Hello everyone,

In few months I will go to Malaysia to work (my company in France send me there).

I have made a local contract of 3 years and I just get the EP approuved. The problem is that the government gave me a 12 months EP category 1 EP whereas I have a 3 years contract.

Is it usual ? Could it be a mistake ? Is there a limited number of renewals ?

Thank you !

Yes it is usual and normal. The first EP is for one year. Unless rules are changed the maximum renewal is up to a total of 10 years for Category 1 EP

Thank you very much !
