DK

David Kowalski

Senior Engineer ยท Warsaw, Poland

"My employer had tried to handle the Employment Pass application independently before engaging Bakti Partners, and it had stalled for over two months. Within three weeks of handing things over to them, the queries were cleared and the pass was approved. The difference was the document preparation โ€” they caught two issues that would have caused further delays."

Sunita Mehta

Finance Director ยท Mumbai, India

"The MM2H process was more involved than I had anticipated โ€” particularly the financial documentation. Grace and her team explained each requirement clearly, flagged what needed apostilling, and walked me through the fixed deposit arrangement after approval. I felt genuinely guided rather than just processed."

MM2H Advisory โ€” January 2026

Chen Liang

IT Consultant ยท Beijing, China

"I was on a Professional Visit Pass and needed to transition to an Employment Pass once I was offered a permanent position. Bakti Partners handled the change-of-status application without any disruption to my work timeline. The update cadence was good โ€” I never had to wonder what was happening."

Employment Pass / Change of Status โ€” January 2026

RO

Rui Oliveira

Regional Manager ยท Lisbon, Portugal

"We had my wife and two children joining me in KL. The Dependent Pass applications involved documents from Portugal, and I wasn't sure about the apostille requirements. Priya coordinated everything โ€” she told us exactly which documents needed what treatment and handled the submission once everything was in order. My family arrived without issue."

Dependent Pass โ€” February 2026

Yuki Tanaka

Operations Lead ยท Osaka, Japan

"My company's HR team had no prior experience with Malaysian employment passes and was initially handling it themselves. After two rounds of document queries from the ESD, they brought in Bakti Partners. The application was resolved in about five weeks from that point. I'd recommend involving them from the outset rather than after complications arise."

Employment Pass Category II โ€” December 2025

Margaret Forsythe

Retired Executive ยท Auckland, New Zealand

"I was concerned the MM2H process would be difficult to manage from New Zealand, but Bakti Partners made it straightforward. They told me clearly which financial thresholds applied, what to prepare, and what to expect at each stage. The medical coordination and fixed deposit guidance after approval were both handled professionally. I'd happily recommend them to other retirees considering Malaysia."

Case Studies

Three Case Journeys

These case summaries illustrate how different client situations were handled โ€” the nature of the challenge, what was involved, and how the matter was resolved.

Employment Pass

EP Category I โ€” Technology Sector

Challenge

A regional technology company hired a senior product director from Germany. The ESD application had been initiated internally but returned two document queries โ€” one relating to the educational credential format, and one regarding the employment contract salary clause. The HR team was unfamiliar with ESD's specific requirements and sought advisory support mid-process.

Solution

We reviewed the existing application against current ESD guidelines. The credential needed translation by an authorised body, and the employment contract required a specific salary breakdown format. We coordinated both corrections, prepared the responses to the ESD queries, and resubmitted the completed package within one week.

Result

Approval received 18 days after our resubmission. The applicant started his role without further delay. Following the successful outcome, the same employer engaged us for subsequent EP applications for two additional hires.

Timeline: approx. 4 weeks from engagement

Dependent Pass

Family Reunion โ€” Three Dependents, Two Countries

Challenge

An EP holder whose wife and children held Indian passports, and whose mother held a Sri Lankan passport, wanted all three to join him in Kuala Lumpur. Documents originated from two countries with different apostille requirements, and the mother's long-term social visit pass involved additional financial guarantor documentation.

Solution

We prepared separate document checklists for each applicant reflecting their specific country of origin requirements. Marriage certificate and birth certificates were apostilled via the relevant Indian authority. The mother's guarantor documentation was prepared locally and verified before submission. All three applications were submitted together.

Result

All three Dependent Passes and the Long-Term Social Visit Pass were approved within the same processing cycle. The client's family relocated within six weeks of initial engagement. Renewal management is now handled by our team annually.

Timeline: approx. 6 weeks from engagement

MM2H

MM2H Application โ€” Retired Couple from Australia

Challenge

An Australian couple, both retired, had researched MM2H independently and were under the impression the financial requirements matched the pre-2021 programme criteria. Their intended fixed deposit amount fell short of the current requirement. They also had questions about how the income documentation worked for retirees drawing from superannuation.

Solution

We provided an assessment based on the current programme criteria and confirmed the correct fixed deposit amount. We then guided the income documentation approach for superannuation-sourced income, which required specific statements and a supporting letter. Medical coordination and security clearance were managed in parallel. The complete application was submitted to the One Stop Centre.

Result

Approval received approximately three months after submission. The couple's visas were endorsed, the fixed deposit was placed, and we confirmed their annual compliance obligations going forward. They relocated to Kuala Lumpur in early 2026.

Timeline: approx. 14 weeks from engagement
