Hi fayzan,

I am Snigdha from India, I went through your posts and came to know that you are here from  long time. I need an advice if you can.
My husband got job in Malaysia for a long term purpose with accommodation and all. I am an IT professional in testing from 5 yrs. As I have to also move Malaysia just wanted to know how is the IT market over there for a dependent visa holder, can i get a job there or not? of-course depends on my skill set but just want to know what are the possibility to get jobs.

Hi Snigdha,

Welcome to Malaysia!
I found that IT is one the profession which is in demand in Malaysia (as in most of the parts of the world), specially for programming jobs. As i see there are high chances that you get a job. But obviously as you mentioned it depends on your past experience and skills, because the IT market is very competent here.

Btw... best of luck!

Thanks a lot for your quick response.

Could you please suggest me something about dependent work permit visa? How can I get an employment pass and  what are the rules to follow for it. If you know in case.

Snigdhap - you just ask your husbands company to process it for you once his is sorted out. Or if they wont, then approach a reputable company to do it for you. No drama. If you get a job, as mentioned on another posting, you just get it endorsed with the right to work. Simple.

Its the same rule for endorsement or employment pass i.e. RM5 k per month salary minimum. Personally, I think it is better to be under an individual employment pass, as companies are scared to take on spouses. 

So get on your bike and look for a job and then you can get your immigration sorted. Where there is a will there is a way. You have niche experience, and now have to be a big girl and max it out.

Gravitas, Thanks again!!

Yes the dependent visa will be processed through my husband's company only. But as they mentioned we have to pay for that. Even that's fine. But I was asking once i reached out Malaysia and started search for a job will that dependent visa work as a WP for me. or when any company hired/considered me, again they have to file for my employment visa?

Also do you have any idea if Malaysian IT companies will consider my resume when I will search for a job with holding a dependent visa?

You need to do the footwork yourself through the links you have already seen.

No a dependent visa is not a work permit (employment pass) but if you get a job offer of RM5k or more it can either be endorsed i.e. a stamp is put on it and "Right to Work" is added.  Otherwise just ask the company to provide an employment pass for you in your own right - nothing to do with your husband's employment.

You will have to work hard to get work. It will not just arrive at your doorstep.

The process if you get a job offer is to cancel your dependent pass and then apply for an employment pass. That is why it is very worthwhile to max out contacting companies and organisations to see if you can get work before you apply for a dependent pass (especially if you are paying for it yourself). There are jobs in software testing avaiable, just Google.

@snigdha: Once you get the job your employer will provide you new visa (employment pass) and your dependent visa will be transferred into it. Visa transfer is not a big thing. I haven't seen cases for transferring dependent visa to work visa, but i have know cases of student visa transferred to work visa... its not a big issue.

@Fayzan..thanks!!!
