Regulatory Notice

Any new foreign worker quota application submitted after 6 July 2026 must go through the FWCMS eQuota system, now under KESUMA's direct management following the Cabinet's 1 July 2026 decision to centralise the One Stop Centre (OSC) — previously coordinated through KDN. Manual, case-by-case submissions are no longer accepted. Employers must also advertise vacancies to Malaysians via MYFutureJobs and demonstrate compliance with Section 60K of the Employment Act 1955 before a quota is considered. Always confirm the latest checklist and procedure via our full recruitment process guide.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about hiring the right way

Clear answers on hiring local and foreign workers in Malaysia — Licence C, Act 446, OSHA, RBA, and SMETA standards.

How long does it take to recruit foreign workers in Malaysia?Timeline
With a licensed Licence C recruitment agency, the full process typically takes 30–45 days from FWCMS eQuota approval to deployment — including KESUMA approval, PLKS permit processing, FOMEMA medical screening, and worker mobilisation. See our complete recruitment process guide for the full step-by-step timeline.
What is a Licence C recruitment agency in Malaysia?Licensing
A Licence C is issued by JTKSM and authorises agencies to legally recruit and place foreign workers. Engaging an unlicensed agent can result in fines, permit cancellation, and serious legal risk. See our official certificate and how to verify it.
Is Andaraya a manpower agency, staffing agency, recruitment agency, or employment agency?About Us
All of these terms describe the same service. Andaraya is a JTKSM Licence C licensed employment agency — also commonly referred to as a manpower supply company, workforce outsourcing partner, staffing agency, job agency, or recruitment agency — providing local and foreign worker sourcing, compliance, and workforce management. Read more about our company.
Do you offer temporary or contract staffing in Malaysia?Services
Yes. Alongside permanent recruitment, we provide temporary staffing and contract staffing for short-term projects, seasonal demand, and flexible workforce needs — all under the same JTKSM Licence C compliance standards as our permanent placements.
How do I choose the most recommended employment agency in Malaysia?About Us
Verify the agency's JTKSM licence on the official JTKSM registry, confirm a zero-recruitment-fee policy, and check their track record on quota applications and Act 446 housing. Andaraya was named Most Recommended Manpower Recruitment Company at the Asia Excellence Choice Awards 2024 — see our detailed HR vetting checklist for the full evaluation criteria.
What does RBA mean, and why does RBA compliance matter?Compliance
RBA stands for Responsible Business Alliance, the global Code of Conduct covering ethical labour, health and safety, and environmental practices across supply chains. RBA compliance means an agency operates under RBA's core principles — no forced labour, no worker-paid recruitment fees, safe working conditions, and full documentation — typically audited through frameworks like SMETA. See our full RBA & SMETA compliance guide.
What laws must employers comply with when hiring workers?Compliance
Employers must comply with Act 446 for worker accommodation standards and the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA), including the 2022 amendment, for workplace safety. We guide employers to ensure full regulatory compliance and avoid penalties.
What industries do you support for manpower recruitment?Workers
We support manufacturing, construction, Cargo & Logistics, plantation, and service sectors with scalable workforce solutions tailored to your quota and compliance needs.
Which countries can foreign workers be recruited from?Licensing
Recruitment is allowed from government-approved source countries including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, and Myanmar subject to sector eligibility and prevailing government policy.
What is FWCMS eQuota and how is it different from the old system?Regulatory
FWCMS eQuota is the single digital platform now used for all foreign worker quota applications, managed directly by KESUMA since 6 July 2026. It replaces the previous manual, case-by-case process. See our full FWCMS, VDR & PLKS explainer for how the system works.
What happens if a worker absconds?Compliance
Employers must report absconding cases to Immigration promptly. We assist with proper reporting procedures and provide replacement support within agreed service terms.
