Help with visa question for filipina
My girlfriend is filipina so what kind of visa will she need to live with me in Malaysia?
The 30 day tourist visa would be too inconvenient as she would have to leave Malaysia every month. Also, I am not sure how many times she can restart the 30 day clock before she is denied entry.Â
Is there some visa that can be arranged in advance that would allow her to stay in Malaysia for a longer period of time?

Why dont you check out the links below
One of the links give a lot of contact numbers for filipinos living in malaysia and also the malaysian consulate office in philipines.
I hope you find it useful.
Take care.
So far my gf is relying on 30 day social visit pass that is granted on arrival. Next month she will try to get 90 day visa by applying at the embassy before arriving in Malaysia. Hopefully she won't have problem getting the 90 day visa which I believe is extendable by further 2 months. If anyone have any experience with this, please chime in.

Only problem is that sometimes if she goes alone to another country they might not allow her to enter they might suspect her to be a prostitute.I am sorry but thats a reality I seen it I have been informed that happened some of the girls when they entry to say Singapore or Thailand.
maybe i cud share my experence with you,,,,
why dont you email me at ****
cheers

You may share your experience on the website of course; this is what ´ó¿§¸£ÀûÓ°Ôº is all about! If you share it privately with Peter there will be no benefit for others!
Of course don't advertise for companies or commercial services!

you could apply for the mm2y visa which is quiet a nice visa
all you do is keep a fixed deposit in your local bank and they give you a ten year visa
My girlfriend has not experienced it because I am always with her when she enters Malaysia but I have heard single filipinas entering Malaysia on their own receiving some scrutiny. I believe this is because there are many filipinas who come to Malaysia with the intention of working in the sex trade.
As the previous poster indicated, MM2H visa is a very good program which allows foreigners to a 10 yr visa and other benefits (like being able to bring/buy a car tax free). The main requirement is that you have to deposit 150,000 rigit (about 50,000 USD) in a Malaysian bank. If you do a google search on MM2H there are tons of information.

its been a long time since you have this problem.. so what happened? can you tell me? so that i also know whT to do?
thank you guys...
If you are not married, you are not able to obtain a dependent pass. As long as you can proof you are not working in Malaysia but just visiting and give them the same address I am sure you will not have a problem. If you boyfriend can confirm you are his girlfriend immigration will not be so hard on you. But once you are married, you will be able to get a dependant visa and from there you can change to work permit when you get a job.

I'm in the same situation and just recently, August 2nd to be exact, my bf and I were coming back from the Philippines and we were asked to proceed to the Immigration Office where my bf was asked a few questions. My bf has a work permit here in Malaysia so now we are trying to acquire a dependent visa for me via a private agency. It's pricey but it beats having to go in and out. We went to the British High Commission to ask how we can get me a dependent visa and they told us that we just need a document stating that we are common law husband and wife. We don't have to be married. Getting that wasn't difficult at all. Took us maybe 15 minutes. Depending on whether or not the OZ government recognizes a common law union, getting a dependent visa shouldn't be so difficult.
Hope this helps

There is an alternative solution besides MM2H and marriage. Malaysian resident pass allows you to stay and work 5 to 10 years.
If you need further info, pm me.
If she is still in Philippines, and you are under MM2H, this is what I can advice you to do. I am a registered Employment Agency in Kuala Lumpur. I am Mr Cheng and my agency is in K Lumpur .
You will need to bring the girl to Kuala Lumpur first under a Domestic Helper (DH) visa which means you stay in K Lumpur for a short while. We can do the process for her to come under a DH calling visa. Once in K Lumpur, we will get her a work permit if she pass her medical. After the permit you can take her to East Malaysia and apply for a permit in the immigration there which is not too difficult.
I know you will ask me why she cannot go to to East Malaysia directly. That's because the immigration in East Malaysia is different from west Malaysia and there is no provision for East Malaysia to bring in the DH directly there under calling visa. To get the calling visa you can only apply for it in West Malaysia and we will also need our Philippine Employment agency partner to process on their side before the DH can exit the immigration in Philippine. Without this process the Philippine girl will not be able to exit the immigration in philippines.
Hence the calling visa method can help to circumvent this impasse. And once the girl gets her permit she can stay in Malaysia infinity except she has to renew her permit once a year
My boyfriend works in JB. I am also here right now using a visit pass for 30days.
Will really appreciate any help. Thank you everyone.
