Foreign Workers Insurance Guarantee (FWIG)
Foreign Workers Insurance Guarantee (FWIG) is a guarantee required by the Malaysian Immigration Department from employers as a security deposit for the employment of foreign workers in Malaysia. FWIG guarantees to cover repatriation expenses in the event where your foreign worker is required by the authorities to be sent back to his country origin during his stay in Malaysia. Duration of cover set by the Immigration Department is eighteen (18) months. A new FWIG is required upon renewing the foreign workers permit. The total premium payable varies depending on the nationality of the foreign worker and Allianz underwriting requirements.
