Wondering if you can hire two foreign domestic helpers in Johor? Malaysian Immigration allows eligible families with specific household needs, such as eldercare, childcare, or large households, to employ two domestic helpers. Agensi Pekerjaan Morningstar Sdn Bhd provides expert recruitment, application assistance, and reliable maid placement services across Johor Bahru.

Understanding Malaysian Immigration Rules for Hiring Two Domestic Helpers

Managing a busy household in Johor Bahru often requires more support than a single helper can provide—especially for families balancing demanding careers, eldercare, and young children. Malaysian Immigration permits households to employ a second foreign domestic helper, provided the employer meets the required eligibility criteria.

• Income Criteria: Employers must meet a higher household income requirement than that required for hiring a single domestic helper.
• Documented Need Justification: A valid reason must be provided and supported by documentation, such as the need to care for multiple young children, elderly parents with medical needs, or maintain a large residential property.
• Employer Accommodation Standard: Sufficient private living quarters and basic amenities must be available within the employer's residence for both helpers.
