Work in Sarawak: Information for Foreign Workers & Job Seekers
How Citra Excel Works
Citra Excel is an employment agency that helps Sarawak employers recruit foreign workers. We work on behalf of employers to source, screen, and place workers — general workers from Indonesia, skilled workers from Indonesia, Bangladesh, and the Philippines, and domestic helpers from Indonesia and the Philippines. If you are looking for work, here is how we may be able to help.
For Foreign Workers
If you are a worker from one of our source countries and are interested in working in Sarawak, you may express your interest by contacting us. We will match your profile with employer demand as opportunities arise.
Sarawak has its own immigration system, separate from Peninsular Malaysia. All foreign workers entering Sarawak require a state-issued work permit (Labour Licence) regardless of whether they hold a valid pass for Peninsular Malaysia. We handle the entire process on behalf of the employer, including visa applications, documentation, medical screening coordination, and arrival logistics.
Common roles available include factory operators, construction labourers, plantation workers, restaurant and hotel staff, cleaners, domestic helpers, and agricultural workers. Demand varies by season and industry, so we encourage interested workers to register their interest early.
What to expect:
- ✓ We recruit on behalf of employers — placement depends on employer demand
- ✓ We handle documentation, visa processing, and travel coordination
- ✓ We provide orientation and onboarding support upon arrival in Sarawak
- ✓ Industries include manufacturing, construction, agriculture, hospitality, and domestic work
