I have a what I think is a somewhat unusual question because I can't find anyone else asking about a similar circumstance. My life-partner (we are not married though I would think common law should apply) has applied for a year long program for additional education in her career field at a university in Tel Aviv. She will qualify for the year long student visa. I am not sure how to apply for or if I need a visa to move with her.

Hello! i moved to KL in the middle of 2014. I came here for a work opportunity through my current company and am set with a work visa. However, my boyfriend moved here in September and has not had much luck finding work. The main issue is not the money, but the confidence that a work visa would bring him we don't have to worry that he might get stopped at immigration as we travel. Besides the typical job search, does anyone have any other creative suggestions or contacts that might be able to help? Any advice is appreciated! Please reply here or send me an email. Thanks!
