Dear all,
The Spouse of an expatriate holding a Dependent Pass is allowed to take up paid employment without converting their Dependent Pass to Employment Pass or Visit Pass Temporary Employment on condition that the permission to take up the paid employment is endorsed on his/her passport by an authorized Immigration officer.
The spouse of an expatriate worker can take up any form of paid employment in private/govt sector. This was not allowed previously. Previously, the immigration dept. used to chop in the visa
"Any form of employment is not permitted"So, it indicates that any kind of paid job full/part time can be taken up by spouse of an expatriate.
For further details, please see the Malaysian govt immigration department website.
