Yes, you will be entitled to long term visas, namely the spouse dependent visa. It is only issued for one year and renewed on a yearly basis. There is enormous red tape here especially if you are married to a muslim. You would have to register with the Religious Dept. within 6 months of entry and with the Registrar of Marriage if not a muslim. You will only lbe eligible for the spouse program if your wife has an income in Malaysia or if you have a job in Malaysia. Otherwise, you will just get a normal tourist visa allowing you to stay a month - 3 months depending on the passport you hold. Without a dependent's visa or work permit, you would have to do visa runs like everyone else in the same situation. Good luck.
