callecelation work permit and return to malaysia

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is [Your Full Name], and I am a Malaysian citizen. I am writing to seek guidance regarding my upcoming marriage to a foreign national who has been working in Malaysia for the past 20 years as a housemaid under a housemaid visa.

Our wedding is scheduled for July 15, 2024, and we would like to ensure that we comply with all necessary immigration regulations and procedures. I would appreciate your assistance in understanding the steps we need to take for her to transition from her current housemaid visa status to a visa that permits her to reside in Malaysia as my spouse.

Specifically, I would like to know the following:

Application Process: What are the required documents and forms that we need to submit to apply for a visa or permit for my spouse after our marriage?

Timelines and Processing Time: How long does the application process typically take, and are there any specific timelines we should be aware of?

Requirements: Are there any additional requirements or conditions we need to fulfill as part of the application process?

Transition from Housemaid Visa: Does she need to cancel her current housemaid visa before applying for the new visa, or can the transition be made directly?

Your guidance on these matters will be invaluable in helping us navigate this process smoothly and ensuring that we adhere to Malaysian immigration laws.
