I'm planning to apply for ESL jobs in the Malaysia.

If I manage to get work there, can my Philippina wife get an entry visa to join me?

Thanks for any information.

I'm sorry but I really have no idea on immigration rules and procedures. I'd suggest doing a google search to find the information you are looking for or apply for jobs and then ask the interviewers what the procedures are.

Sorry for the late submission to reply to this query, but if you are working for a legitimate organisation and you have a legitimate professional work visa and you have all the necessary documents to prove your marriage (translated into English if necessary) then there is no reason why your company cannot apply for a dependent's visa for your wife and any dependent children. W have employed at least three mentors with Filipina spouse and this has not been an issue.

The only major issue at the moment is the length of time that the immigration department are taking to process new visas. The department has moved to a new streamlined system of applying for visas on line and so as usual with all new systems - it is taking much longer than the one it replaced!!! But in essence there should still be no problem in getting a dependent's visa.
