Can I do part-time jobs in Malaysia to cover expenses?

Yes, you can work part-time as an international student in Malaysia, but there are strict regulations.

- Maximum 20 hours/week during semester breaks or holidays longer than 7 days.
- Allowed sectors: restaurants, petrol stations, mini-markets, and hotels.
- Not allowed: cashier, singer, masseur, musician, guest relations, or any roles considered immoral.
- Approval required: You must get approval from the Malaysian Immigration Department via your university before starting work.

Typical part-time earnings may help with living costs but usually won't cover all expenses. For help with the approval process, contact your university's international office.
