Thanks, up until two years ago, wasn't a problem, now you may get a visa if the wife is not working, but it is difficult I have applied 3 times and been refused, and believe me my salary is WELL above the minimum, and I work for a "Q" company. When I contacted agencies I was also given a list of nationalities that I could employ a maid from, this list they told be was definitive, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, India, Phillipines and Indonesia, with a couple of other African Nations I cannot remember, no chinese, no europeans, no south americans. etc.
