Malaysia today serves as a hub for countless Nepali’s seeking foreign employment in the Island nation with the numbers flocking to the shores of the nation every year. However a majority of these workers reside and work in the country illegally after their visa expirations.

The Malaysian government in response to this increasing number of illegal immigrants are bringing forth a host of new regulations. These new rules are divided amongst two major regulations, the first one being that they will re-qualify to work in Malaysia legally if they complete certain processes, the second being a return back to Nepal after paying a concessional penalty rate to the government.
