Dear Lawyers,

I am a shareholder in my husband's company, but my visa is under my husband's name.

Can I still receive a salary from his company?

Dear Inquirer,

Yes, you can take a salary from your husband’s company even if your visa is in his name.

As long as the company is registered and operating legally, you can receive a salary for the work you do, provided that you actually perform the work and record your presence in the company's attendance and departure logs to prove the employment relationship, while complying with local laws and regulations.

It is advisable to have a lawyer involved to mitigate any potential risks.
