Queries on employment of refugees

Please be advised that UNHCR Malaysia is unable to provide any guidance on queries related to employment or labour market opportunities for refugees.

 

UNHCR is also unable to provide verification of UNHCR ID cards for employers. For self-verification of new UNHCR cards with QR codes, download the UNHCR Verify-MY smartphone application for free on Android Play Store or Apple App Store and scan the card to verify.

 

The UNHCR card is only an identity document. It does not provide refugees with a formal right to work in Malaysia. Under Malaysian law, refugees are not legally recognized, usually not granted work legally. UNHCR continues to pursue work rights initiatives with the Government of Malaysia.
