The rules in various countries are too distinct, inconsistent and
depend too much on your personal situation to allow for a generalized
statement.
One example where dependent visa holders are permitted to work is the
EU. Spouses of EU citizens, who live and work in any of the EU member
countries, will get a work permit regardless of their nationality.
Even in the U.S. the spouse can get work-permission, but it is
dependent on the visa category (e.g. L1/L2).
