1: NO
2) Question = How will a Singapore dependant Pass allow her to stay in Malaysia ?? Ditto for 3

Work Pass holders - > those who do Manual job / semi skilled job in Singapore, and the same applies to MALAYSIANS only from what I know .. . and not for other nationalities, as no other nationalities are expected to be on WP and driver / ride from Malaysiajdanthony77 wrote:

under the section "work passes"
W.r.t (2) She'll need either one (SG or MY) or none. She will be spending a lot of time in Singapore, so either one would work (I think, unless someone knows differently). I'm more concerned with the practicality, i.e. number of immigration stamps collected, etc.
Cheers!
The website , Ecurileix, link is true. I have triple nationalities and my wife is European, we had a number of times drove a Malaysian car thru Woodlands and Tuas with no issue at all. The only problem I faced is when you rent the car from KLIA. Only certain car hire company allows us to drive to Singapore. Out of these, some the rental cars have outstanding traffic summons on them. You have to be very sure that if you drive any Malaysian car, make sure no offence prior has been committed.ecureilx wrote:Answers:jdanthony77 wrote: 1) I am Malaysian and drive a Malaysian car.

Yes, you can drive a Malaysian car as long as you have a valid Foreign PP or valid workpass or on social visit SVP, Autopass, valid insurance, and you car has not been involved in any traffic offence in SG.If an offence has been committed, you will need to settle it before leavign SG. You cannot drive your Malaysian car if you are SG PR or a local unless certain criteria has been met. I had done that too.

These is two part,
Getting long term visa in Malaysia is easy as long as you can proof to Malalysian Immigration that she is married to you legally. You can apply at Bukit Jalil for the LTSVP or on line. If she does not hold any LTSVP , she is allowed to stay in Malaysia a maximum of 3 months under SVP.
For the SG side, once you have an EP, you can apply DP for her in SG. That you must do for her. Your SG employer can apply the EP and DP for you.
3) My son (also a British citizen) will likely be studying in Singapore. What pass should he apply for, Singapore Student, Singapore Dependant or Malaysian Dependant?
Same as your wife or you can apply student pass for the child
4) Can my wife (non-work pass holder in Singapore) drove a Malaysian
car into Singapore daily?
Yes, she can but not recommended in the long run or her frequency entering SG is too often as she can be suspected working illegally in SG
1: NO (This is incorrect)
2) Question = How will a Singapore dependant Pass allow her to stay in Malaysia ?? Ditto for 3 ( Applying EP pass in Malaysia the easiest way is thru company secretary. There a number in JB. Just pay the money and you can get 3 years pass. This will reduce the filling up DE everything you enter
Malaysia.

Actually I know a few people who live in JB, Singaporeans married to Malaysians, who drive to work daily, but .. they work in Woodlands .. am yet to meet anybody who works in town ... considering the morning rush in the expressways, it is gotta make you loose your focus someday ..the lynx wrote:Staying in JB and commuting to Singapore on daily basis is not recommended. The insane traffic jam on both links on peak hours (and many times, off-peak hours) will take hours off your daily life alone.
You wake up super early to beat the jam on your way in and then spend hours to beat the same jam on your way out. By the time you reach home in JB, you'll be too tired to do anything else except late dinner, shower and sleep. I know way too many people who do that...
The only people who would do that are those who have nothing else for life other than to earn money.
Some people love and swear by Leisure Farm!jdanthony77 wrote:@ Teck 21 : You're dashing all my hopes! I thought some of the townhouses in Leisure Farms looked quite nice. Could you do me a favour, let me know how the house hunt turns out. My biggest challenge is finding one of these "Gated" communities that'll allow my golden retriever in.
Oooh, not looking to buy, mate. Already own one property in Malaysia and that's enough. Looking to rent, actually.teck21 wrote:jdanthony77 wrote:

Noticed your comment about their townhouses, there are hardly any for sale. They didn't build many, and almost all have been sold by now. What they are selling now is a new area of Semi-Ds and bungalows, which neither interest me, nor are within my affordability range.
Knowing how much you want to spend would probably give you a good idea of where to look.
Sure, I'll let you know, I'm counting on others who have done the same for advice as well lol.
ICA and Malaysian immigration "MAY" view it as Visa runs, as your wife has no residency on either side of the border Tread carefully .. says me ..jdanthony77 wrote:@ Mad Scientist : Thank you very much for the clarification. My wife's runs across the border would be more to pick up my son from school, not so much visa runs, but I will keep your concerns in mind.
She could get residency on either side, my question was which would be easier. Wasn't planning on doing anything illegal!ecureilx wrote:ICA and Malaysian immigration "MAY" view it as Visa runs, as your wife has no residency on either side of the border Tread carefully .. says me ..jdanthony77 wrote:@ Mad Scientist : Thank you very much for the clarification.

not at all .. there are automated clearence, for residences of Malaysia, at the Malaysia side ...jdanthony77 wrote: THis means she'll have to get the Malaysian LTVP. THe biggest inconvenience about this is, you STILL have to fill up a MY white card and get your passport stamped, and same again on the SG side.
Thanks!
Show me where does it states a DP residing overseas albeit in JB cannot drive a Malaysian Car.jdanthony77 wrote: Checked with LTA. Dependent's pass means she's considered resident and can't drive her MY car in.
