See recorded sources
Limits of the record- The occupation, skill level and qualification conditions are not stated.
Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?
A job offer is required: the permit is needed by a foreigner who has been offered employment by any organisation in Malawi, and the organisation has the responsibility to apply for the permit on behalf of the applicant.

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?
The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the decisive professional requirements of this route.
See recorded sources
Limits of the record- Searched TEP page (1e6da41d4b8b2d4e) and portal for salary, qualification, experience, skill or shortage/labour-market criteria: none. The page refers to 'The Policy Statement on The Employment of Expatriates', which is not among the captures. 'Specified employment' is already R1's (protected) material.
What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The official source does not state the normal permit duration or a longer-term residence direction.
