Dependent Visa Processing Time

Post new topic

ar111

Hi,

I plan to get married in August and would like to bring my future wife to Malaysia. I'm on an EP and my employer will process my future wife's dependent visa. How long will it take for the immigration to process the dependent visa?

Thank you.

Check first the kind of documents and attestations you will need (having spouses name in passport affects this)

DP section and Annex D - https://esd.imi.gov.my/portal/pdf/TC-ES … r-2017.pdf

3-4 weeks is the usual timeframe - but I think your wife will enter on a VDR so that may take her a little longer to collect from Chennai, Delhi or Mumbai consulate.
