Malaysia has launched a work visa program to target blockchain talent. The initiative results from a joint-partnership between NEM (NEM) Foundation, job marketplace Jobbatical, and the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC). MDEC is a government-owned organization that oversees Malaysia's tech sector.

Through this program, it hopes to attract foreign professionals with blockchain expertise by permitting them to stay in the country for up to 12 months to provide blockchain-related services or undergo training at a Malaysian company.
