A real job offer first, then the visa

Who runs this site

JobsAbroad Malaysia is run by Red Migration FZC, a company registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from its office at 108, 6th Street, Al Hamriya, Bur Dubai, Dubai, UAE. We connect employers in Australia and New Zealand with skilled candidates from overseas.

We write for Malaysians from every background, whether you live in Malaysia or already work abroad, in Singapore for example. Anyone with the right skills can apply, whatever their nationality.

What you will find here

• Sponsored vacancies in Australia and New Zealand, each with an employer prepared to sponsor the work visa of the person it hires.
• Visa guides to Australia's Skills in Demand (482) visa and New Zealand's Accredited Employer Work Visa, from job offer to grant.
• News and videos on changes to sponsorship and visa rules, and on what a working day looks like in each country.
• A WhatsApp channel that sends new jobs to your phone as they go live.

What happens after you apply

1. Choose a job. Go to the job list, open a vacancy and check it against your experience, certificates, licences and English.
2. Apply. Tap the email or WhatsApp button on the vacancy and send an English CV with your trade certificates.
3. We review it. We check your profile against what the employer needs. If it fits, we send it on; if not, we tell you so.
4. Interview. Usually a video call, sometimes with a practical or trade test.
5. Job offer. If the interview goes well, the employer makes an offer and handles the sponsorship, and you get your visa documents together.
6. Visa and travel. Once the visa is granted you fly out and start work with your sponsor. Our visa guides cover each step in detail.

Why we only list sponsored jobs

Flying out on a tourist visa in the hope of finding work is a gamble. With sponsorship, you leave Malaysia knowing the job is real and that the employer has been approved, and is monitored, by the Australian or New Zealand government.

• A real job waiting. You know the role and the employer before you go.
• Rules that protect you. Sponsors have to be approved and must meet the pay and conditions rules for sponsored workers.
• Room for your family. Partners and dependent children can usually be included, within the visa rules.
• A future there. Sponsored work can sometimes lead to permanent residence, for example through Australia's Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186), depending on the rules at the time.

What we are working towards

Malaysian chefs, tradespeople, carers and engineers should be able to find work abroad without guesswork, middlemen or fake offers. We want to make that easier: real vacancies from sponsoring employers, visa rules in everyday language, and direct links to the official government pages.

Kerja luar negara, cara yang betul: the right job, the right visa and the facts in hand before you go.

Our commitments

• We only publish vacancies where the employer is prepared to sponsor.
• If your profile is not a fit, we tell you honestly.
• We explain visa rules in plain English and link to the official source.
