What this means for teachers
Malaysia does not currently have a route in our index that maps one-to-one to teachers, so the general routes below are the place to start. Teaching is regulated in most destinations, so alongside the visa you should expect a separate qualification-recognition or registration step before you can teach in Malaysia.
The most-used skilled route into Malaysia overall is the Employment Pass (EP); it is not specific to teachers but is worth understanding as the benchmark route.
