How many days can EP holders work abroad?

surranda
I'm currently employed in Malaysia with Employment Pass (category 2).

I'm thinking about visiting my home country and work remotely from there for a month or so.
I heard somewhere that there are restrictions to how long I can work from overseas (outside Malaysia) with EP due to tax/visa reasons, but cannot find anything online...

Does your company have any rules on this?
Any information you have would be greatly appreciated!!

I am not sure if there is any restriction as such. IMHO, it involves risks that you take at your own cost and few in company's cost.
  • In case you don't stay in Malaysia for a period of 180 days continuously you will be considered non-resident and subject to tax of flat 30%.
  • If you stay for more time in home country than in Malaysia, your employer might be at a risk of answering to the MDEC during your visa renewal.
All the points mentioned above are from my experience with my friends and friends of friends. Please make sure you get official information through your employer.
