Work visa for girlfriend

5 years ago

Hi everyone,

after endless hours of research I ended up on this page and hope somebody can help me :)

My situation: Im Swiss and got offered by my employer to work between 3 and 12 months in Penang at our branch. I would really like to get the experience but of course my girlfriend would like to join. Shes finishing her studies now and would like to come with me and work there aswell. Shes from Czech republic and lives since 1 Year in Switzerland with me doing an internship.
What we know by know is that she need a job in advance and her potential employer would get her the work visa. But we also heard its super hard to get a job if you need visa sponsorship... Can anybody confirm this? Does somebody has experience with getting a work visa there? And may somebody know which companies do visa sponsorship?

I know a lot of questions but would be amazing if somebody could give us some advise :)¨

Regards Lukas
