Section 60K Letter of Approval
Based on our experience and immigration guidelines
What's a Section 60K Approval Letter?
A Section 60K approval letter is issued by the West Malaysian Department of Labour (JTKSM) under Section 60K of the Employment Act 1955, authorising an employer to hire a foreign worker. In the context of Employment Passes, it is one of the required supporting documents when submitting a new EP application with ESD.
