Monthly visit visa waiver vs spouse visa for Israel?

Destination: Israel

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.

What are my work visa options for Malaysia?

Destination: Kuala Lumpur

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! Wendy

Where can I get info on visas for China?

Destination: China

I am considering going to China to live with my prospective mate. I will not be going to work there, just going there to live with her. She is a doctor with her own home. The city is Zhuzhou. I cannot find a visa to match what I want to do. Tourist is not long enough since I am moving there permanently if I do go. Also, since I am retired and will not be working, I wouldn't use a Work or Business visa? Also, I am on government pension through the VA and Social Security Disability.

I found this link on this Regulation about the Social Security. I am a foreign teacher and therefore I am sure the company would definitely be a participating company based on this alone. It feels, though, they are avoiding this topic when I ask about it.

Can someone give me info on Bloemfontein, South Africa?

Destination: South Africa

Hi there, I am new to this forum! But in need of some advice about my scheduled stay in South Africa. I have been to SA last may, and I was astonished by the beauty of the country. While in Bloemfontein I was offered a scholarship at the UFS. The bursary is around R80,000 a year, I know this is not enough to live on, so I scrapped some savings and an additional bursary from a private fund, and it comes down to a monthly allowance of ~R 18,000. Will this be sufficient in Bloemfontein and have some good South African r&r?
