Please note that it is ILLEGAL to apply for a student visa just so you can work here. If you are a professional already, you should go for the skilled migration program. Doing the wrong thing is a very selfish act that will harm people who are legitimate students (like many of us here) from gaining proper working rights and migration opportunities when we graduate.

Please do not give Malaysia a bad name/image like India/China by abusing and exploiting student visas.

chris, i think jex is saying, he goes in as a student (legit), and the wife will be an accompanying person....yes, in this situation, his wife is allowed to work, i believe, although there will be some restrictions........

of more concern to me is, whether the wife's qualification is recognised or not.......most qualifications not from oz or nz are NOT recognised, so some kind of accreditation process is needed, and that takes time and money......

of course, many people will take jobs which do not need accreditation, which will be mostly menial jobs like cashiers, stackers, fast food crew etc........even though they are professionals in their own countries, to earn some money..........

i think the info is all quite clear, students, and dependants can apply to work max 20hr/week (must apply there, not automatically given), the exception being family of masters students by course work, where work is then unlimited......

Trying to enter Big4 from skilled migration?

Good luck.

Last check, they don't even consider applicants without PR/Citizenship. One of the Big4 did mention they may accept applications from those who are applying for a PR (sufficient points) though, but really... good luck.

I think the UK is better in this sense.

Hmm? What do you mean? Students who has a student visa have to apply (what ?) before working ??

yes........which part don't you understand?

remember you are a student, supposed to be there to study not work........they are generous enough to allow full time students to work max 20hrs/week during semester time and unlimited during holidays, but you have to apply for that permit separately when you arrive.........

Havent posted a thing for ages, wishing u guys a happy easter break!

Happy Easter everyone....

Thank you so much, chris_c28, for saying it like it is. Don't get me started. You can see it here.

Yes. What did you think; you could just walk into Australia and work?

OMG, dont get me started with assignments, I have about 5 to keep me busy on this break and 4 more to do after the break. Plus, being on the committee for 2 clubs, I have work to do for this weekend - Maulidur Rasul, farewell ceremony for MSD director and something else I forgot...

Dagnabbit, Easter means all the stores are closed and now i can't find a place to get fags or bottles of lemonade.

hahaha lol! who asked u ddint stock up

I stocked up on Wednesday. Most shops are only open till about 2pm today, and mostly closed tomorrow. I suppose if you're desperate, you could go to 7-11.

Eating out this weekend will be a nightmare. A 10-20% surcharge almost everywhere!

really?shitttttttttttttttttttttt

Haha... Easter holidays = DEAD TOWN.

Last easter my friend and I stupidly went to Knox City and got stranded there because the entire complex was closed. Can't even enter the building.

This time round I rather stay at home and sleep...

M'sia's public holidays are so much better... at least you see lively people everywhere compared to a dead town over here where everyone mysteriously vanishes.

starghazzer in melb? any event this break?

Quite true.Public holiday here is dead city while Malaysia public holiday is filled with people everywhere.

Guess i'll sleep and study at home lah.
