Register as a nurse in Malaysia

[samsonwilliams]

Hello, I'd like to ask if anyone is familiar with applying as a foreign nurse in Malaysia. Upon reading, i understand they only accept specialised nurses. i've got a bachelor's and 5 years experience and will undertake specialisation soon. admittedly, an unconventional decision to move to Malaysia for work when others are finding ways to move from Malaysia to Singapore, but i get that a lot. it's a long story. in any case, what are the chances of being offered a work pass in Malaysia as a Singaporean? what's the process like?

We are always interested in long stories, especially one as unique as yours. This is definitely a new one that I have never heard of before… but knowing what I know, if it’s not for the money, I’d guess it’s for love.

Generally speaking, every country is looking to protect their local workforce from foreign displacement. It usually helps to have some distinctive advantage that would help your future employer justify hiring you over a local. Nurses are generally in high demand everywhere, so I don’t think finding an interested employer will be a challenge - only the work permit.
