So, you're gearing up for a well-deserved getaway to Malaysia and you'd love to have your Myanmar helper join in on the fun… or to have her look after the little ones when you are doing your hair. =X

After all, who wouldn't want their trusted aide by their side, especially when navigating the bustling streets of Johor Bahru or the serene beaches of Desaru? 

But before you start dreaming of sipping coconuts by the sea, there's the little (yet crucial) matter of securing a visa for your helper. 

Fear not! This guide will walk you through the process, ensuring your travel plans don't hit a snag.

Understanding the Visa Necessities

First things first: Yes, your Myanmar helper will need a visa to enter Malaysia. Because 

But worry not; the process is straightforward, especially with a pinch of preparation and a dash of patience.

Where to Start: The Application Process

Many agencies in Singapore offer visa application services, taking the bureaucratic burden off your shoulders. 

Try applying for a visa through one of those travel agencies near your place, or you can drop down the travel agencies at Peninsula Plaza or Chinatown. Cost around $100.

However, do note that not all agencies handle visa applications, so do call them before going down, so you don’t make a wasted trip.

Bring down your helper’s passport and work permit to the travel agency.

Timing is Everything: Processing Time

The anticipation of approval can be nerve-wracking, but most visas are processed within a week.

However, it’s wise to apply well in advance of your travel date to avoid any last-minute panic. 

The earlier, the better, as this gives you a cushion should there be any hiccups along the way.

Ready for Adventure?

With the visa sorted, you're one step closer to creating memorable experiences in Malaysia with your helper by your side. 

Travel not only broadens the horizon but also strengthens the bonds between those who journey together.
