Default English Teacher - Dependent Visa Worries.

Hi all,

I am an English teacher (British National) currently applying for jobs in the Far East. I am married to an Italian citizen and I wanted to ask what the VISA rules are for her. If I applied for a job and received an offer of work, I presume she would be allowed to enter the country and live with me as a dependent?

Does this mean she can also look and apply for work on a dependent VISA or not?? If not, how easy is it for her to change her VISA in-country?

Thanks for your help,

Daniel Jarrett

Hi DGH. I guess it depends on which country. I see you've brought up the subject in China and Thailand forums so see if you get some answers. FWIW this subject came up in the Malaysia forum the other day. If I can remember where I saw it, I'll put a link in here later.

not sure about this one but she may be able to get a Non-O visa as your wife so long as you have a work permit etc. This is in Thailand. You might find that it would be easier for her to come in on a tourist visa and then change it in country.

Don't quote me on this though as I'm not sure, and the rules do change all the time.
