Hi

I am working in Malaysia holding professional visit pass. I need to bring my spouse to Malaysia for a period of six months.
Since dependent pass is not available for my visa category. Please suggest if there is any visa category to bring her for around six months.

Thanks well in advance. :)

There is none. She could enrol as a student and get a student pass, That would mean finding a recognised course and applying before leaving home country.

Thank u..whether referral/family visa will be possible?

Gravitas

No - you said yourself your professional visa does not allow dependents.

Premrsw

Thank u

Your wife could enrol to say brush up her English and get a 6 month student pass. Or another area which interests her.

The EMPLOYER makes the application.

Onsite company based on your professional training & support will prepare & get a approval letter  from Malaysian immigration.. and this approval letter will be sent to you. During this period u cant stay in Malaysia. Through Agencies, Approval letter + visa stamping requirements shall be given to embassy in India for stamping.

Just do visa runs to Singapore Thailand etc at weekends and treat your wife and you to a nice holiday.

Or get a 6 months tourist visa. Very easy do yourself.

I did I for a mate once his sister in law in kl for 6 months. His agents (expensive lazy and almost useless most of them from experience) said impossible.

After 2 hours in.immigration with her return flight and letter from him saying he could support her (plus some bank statements they actually ignored) I got her a 6 month visa. It was too easy. Just be polite and ask meekly for help.

This is because I can read and most visa agents can't (it seems). And most are lazy just want huge fees for nothing. Did I.mention that already LOL . Very, I hate to say, Malaysian business ethic. Want 80% profit margin minimum. Whine over!

I dont want the above to raise your hopes unduly, but if one visa avenue has been denied, it can be difficult to get "an alternative" approved, because it basically makes the authorities look silly if they grant it.
