Not for us expats no mo'...Malaysia recently passed extremely restrictive rules forbidding any foreign work visas for more than a year, effectively bringing Air Asia's recruitment of low-time overseas pilots to a stop...
Basically you have to be Malaysian now...would've been a good gig on an A320 if they hadn't pulled the plug!, but I can't blame them...it's their country!!!

As far as I know all non-citizen pilots in the US must be legal residents and the TSA has a specific website set up where they verify their legal status. Everyone is fingerprinted, photographed and a detailed background check is conducted to verify the person’s status.
Frankly, if other government agencies accepted the rules TSA uses for foreign born pilots we wouldn't have any illegal aliens in this country. They would never be able to find a job here.
