Without a work permit you cannot get a one year non B in the SE Asia Region. Even with a work permit and all the correct company papers, KL is the only place reliably issuing one year non Bs at the moment. By the way, you don't need a degree for a work permit - just suitable qualifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
