officially wife cannot work nor can u but hey who's gonna chek. then again y u want 2 work pay is 2 low 4 expats unless u want a high end job and then u certainly cannot work.
application is easy peasy but now new ruling that u hav 2 hav agent 2 apply, a bummer but that means u pay them 4 nothing much really. approx rm5000. but if u buy property frm certain developers they wil process ure MM2h for only 3000, such as sepang gold coast developer.
if u r bringing car frm abroad its a killer 2 get the process done. my advice is 2 get gud local agent who wil clear the CAR as well and agree on full clearance, and jpj registration etc, approx further rm3-4000.
MM2H is easy process otherwise but rules hav been tightened. do it whilst its still easy , my advice bcoz they will only make it harder 2 join in the future as they r promoting heavily overseas.
