Document Legalisation for Malaysia Work Visas

A Malaysia work visa file runs HEC, MOFA, then the Malaysia Embassy stamp, because Malaysia is not a Hague Convention member. The embassy legalisation is what Kuala Lumpur employers and the immigration process check, and some Malaysian bodies accept MOFA-only attestation, so we confirm the requirement before adding the embassy step.

From attestation to Malaysia work visa acceptance

HEC attestation

HEC verifies the degree and transcript, and school certificates go through IBCC first.

MOFA attestation

MOFA seals the document before the High Commission legalises it.

Malaysia Embassy stamp

The High Commission legalisation is what most employers and the work permit process check.

What the Malaysian employer and embassy check

Your employer submits the attested documents with the work permit application in Kuala Lumpur.

Some Malaysian bodies accept MOFA-only attestation, and we confirm the requirement before adding the embassy step.

Where a document is not in English, we arrange a certified translation.

We confirm the route and timeline per case with the receiving office before filing.

Which documents does a Malaysia work permit need?

The degree, an experience certificate, a police clearance, and identity copies, all attested.

Do I always need the embassy stamp?

Some Malaysian bodies accept MOFA-only attestation. We confirm the requirement from the employer or receiving office before filing.
