Live and work in Malaysia for your Labuan entity

A work permit lets a director or employee of a Labuan entity live in Malaysia and run the entity from there.

A permit tied to the entity, not to you.

Your Labuan company applies for the permit, and it names the person who will hold it. Dependants can normally be included in the same application.

The permit follows the entity. That is the distinction that matters.

When you want to run the structure yourself.

A founder sets up a Labuan company to hold his regional business. He wants to be in Labuan or Kuala Lumpur himself, meet the bank in person and sign in front of people. A permit is what lets him do that, and the company is what applies for it.

We prepare the application and follow it through.

The same officer handles it from the first file to the renewal years later.

The file

We put it together and check it against what the authorities want to see.

The submission

We submit it and stay the point of contact while it is considered.

Renewals

They go the same way, through the same officer.

You can be where your structure is.

You live in Malaysia and walk into your own bank. Your presence also becomes part of what makes the entity real rather than a question mark on someone's file.

Common questions

Can my family come with me?

Dependants can normally be included in the application. We will tell you who qualifies in your case.

Do I need a Labuan company first?

Yes. The entity is the applicant, so it has to exist before the permit can be applied for.

Who can hold the permit?

A director or an employee of the entity. Which route fits depends on your role in it.

Corporate Services

A permit application leans on the entity being properly set up. Corporate services is where that part sits.
