Dependant pass art-time work Kuala Lumpur

DannyJakarta

Hello All,

I am from the Netherlands. I am wondering is a part-time job enough, lets say  3 times a week for a dependant pass? What are the requirements?

I have my own webdevelopment company in the Netherlands. Are there other ways to contribute, lets say making a website for Malaysians citizen to benefit from, in starting a business getting the dependant pass as well?

Thanks for the information

Why not look at the MTEP visa.


Its not possible to work on a Dependent VISA (DP) . A DP has to be linked to an EP which a partner is holding.

Part-time work does not qualify for a work permit (EP)

Another option is to set up a Labuan offshore company but Rm250, 000 paid up capital is required for an EP. It can be tax efficient for channelling offshore income but only allows 30% of income to be derived in Malaysian Ringitt and that is fully taxable.

Web design market is flooded by local Malaysians so unless you are a software engineer jobs (employer applies for the EP) are not available. Information technology is the easiest sector to find work but coding mainly.

Thanks for the answer.
I meant an AP visa. I am a webdeveloper, but have my company in Holland.

I never heard of an MTEP visa. Well the reason I am doing it is also to bring my kid to a school there with a student visa. Still a preschool, so i heard from the international preschools, my kid can enter with a tourist visa first. Well I get 90 days on a dutch passport. I just do not know, how long i have to be ot of the country before I can enter again after 90 days.
Thanks a lot for all the info.

Kids can only get a Student visa from age 6-7 yrs I believe, i.e. entering primary school

What you would require in Malaysia, as a parent of a Student Pass holder, would be a Guardian visa. Only one parent can hold this.

Any work and earnings must be outside Malaysia when on a Guardian visa. You would need to show offshore earnings and any visa renewals require proof of monthly fund transfer into a local bank.

Health insurance is now also mandatory.

Certain members of expatriate students are allowed to accompany students in
Malaysia on a Long Term Social Pass (for the duration of 12 months or according to the duration of studies, whichever comes first). This is also known as a Guardian Pass.

Family Members of º£½ÇÂÒÂ×riate Students who are Allowed to Stay in Malaysia
The types of family members include the following:
• Parents of students
• Legally Court-Appointed Guardians

Parents or Legally Court-Appointed Guardians may submit their Social Pass application to the Department of Immigration, Malaysia, together with their child/ren's Student Pass application or after the application for the Student Pass has been approved.

Family Members of º£½ÇÂÒÂ×riate Students who are allowed to stay in Malaysia are allowed entry solely at the discretion of the Department of Immigration, Malaysia.

Again, i know i can enter a school on a tourist visa, my question is after 90 days, how long i have to go out of the country and enter again, 1 day 1 week?

There are no stated rules. It's at the discretion of the immigration officer. If they think you are abusing a tourist visa and living or working illegally in Malaysia, they will refuse entry.

I asked the preschools i visited, and they said there is no student visa needed for preschool. I am not abusing it, or working in Malaysia.

Attempting to live in Malaysia without any immigration status - surprising a preschool will accept a child on a tourist visa. Its possible you will both attract attention when doing visa runs after 90 days. If and when you did apply for a Student Pass and full copy of passport is required, so possibility of issues.

You may get away with a couple of visa runs, but often after that entry is limited to 30 days or even less (3 days). The other possibility is to get a Do Not Land - which means you are returned to your last Port of Call. After that minimum one month before its likely to be able to re-enter.

We have a new government and immigration policies are being tightened at point of implementation.

Hi, preschool don't need student visa. They can study anywhere if parents have visa. But U can enroll Ur child in any international school and apply for student visa along with 1 parent dependent visa.
