MOM has confirmed the following through its official FAQs:
Do not assume that dependent pass holders, student pass holders or short-term visitors can apply without checking MOM’s current guidance for their specific pass type.
The rest of the hiring process is the same: briefing, shortlisting, interview, Work Permit application, insurance, bond and arrival. See how hiring works for the full sequence. For general employer checks, single-applicant questions and financial-evidence routes, see the employer eligibility guide; check each scheme’s residency conditions separately from your pass type. General employer requirements: MOM’s page.
EP, S Pass, PEP and valid LTVP holders can apply to employ a helper. Each pass type has its own document requirements.
Questions
Yes. MOM’s FAQ confirms EP and S Pass holders can apply with the listed income and supporting documents.
The bond requirement is based on the helper’s nationality, not the employer’s. Non-Malaysian helpers require a $5,000 bond regardless of the employer’s citizenship.
