It must have been awful when your twin sister arrived in Malaysia and the authorities thought her paperwork was fake. It was superb that your sister's boss tried speaking to the authorities. Good luck to your sister with getting into Malaysia to work there. I applied to the Finnish Embassy for a work permit so I could work as a children's nanny in Finland. I was accepted as a foreign worker and I flew to Helsinki on a one way flight. I didn't have any problems going past the officials and the family met me at the airport. Another time I went to Australia House in London and applied for a working holiday visa. I was accepted and got it that day into my passport. I arrived at Sydney Airport and the official said "welcome to Australia". It is not hard to work overseas. Sometimes the officials can give a foreign worker a challenging time getting into their country. Soon you should know what is wrong with your sister's paperwork.

Its is hard to live abroad....i have been abroad once...and again i have come to the UAE for work. Its difficult to live away from the loved ones. I had no problems getting a visa to the UK or UAE.

i thinks yes...base on my friends experience i would say yes!they go along way before they can go to other country to work and ofcourse it takes a lot of money and worse they are too far for their family..

Hi, Good news that your twin sister has chance to work in Malaysia. Just wondering what company is she working at? Don't worry too much...she will be fine. Do keep in touch with her often to check on her situation. Is it her first time go for overseas trip? For me, I was in overseas for more than 15 years,when I first out from my town for further study, I was bit worried and not get used to it,for sure I miss my parents alot.But as time pastby, I managed to adapt myself to the new environment. I believe your sister will takecare of herself in Malaysia.

If you are looking for a job that is totally good abroad, then I think its not very easy to find those kinds of jobs. I also have a friend who wants to go abroad to work there cause she wanted to earn more money but its very difficult and she has to wait for months and months.

Its always worring when you go to a new place, to live and to do job.To settle down and to adapt with that place is mentally disturbing.But better opportunities dont come everyday.
