Can anybody advise me on the following scenario? It Will be much appreciated
I am currently a PhD student at UM. I have been offered a job in finance, and the employer would like to apply for an employment pass with the salary being 5.5k, which I believe is EPII.
1. My question is under the current circumstances with MCO and RMCO going on, and the border is very much restricted, do I need to cancel my existing student pass and return to my home country for the EP process to complete?? Or can the employer ask for a special pass or something like that for me to stay in Malaysia, once I cancel the student visa?
2. The second query is whether if I am able to get the employment pass approved and if everything goes alright. can I continue my PhD under the employment pass? Am I allowed to study under an employment pass? and whether my Univesity will allow me to continue my study where I left from.
Thanks for your time
