For over 10 years I’ve documented my journey on this blog; from getting married, applying for a Spouse Visa (and multiple subsequent renewals), to finally securing Permanent Residence.
I will no longer need to make regular visits to Immigration, and won't be following changes to the Spouse Visa and PR (Permit Masuk) processes, so I won't make any further updates to this blog.
Much has changed in the past decade. Most notably, there’s now a wealth of helpful information available online, including the PR Guidelines released by Immigration in September 2025. These developments should make things smoother for foreign spouses navigating the system today.
I will leave all my old posts up, but for the latest updates I recommend checking out the websites and Groups in the ‘Useful Links’ section which are excellent resources for current information.
I hope this blog has been useful to other people on a similar journey to my own!
