As the title states. I am looking to emigrate to Malaysia, but I am uncertain on how to proceed since I don't meet the liquid asset qualifications for MM2H program. From what I have read you must reside in Malaysia for 5 years to qualify for ...
Guess I'm one of the rare breed that actually prefers and enjoys living in Malaysia, since I find more upsides than downsides (I relocated here after marrying a Malaysian). I've had to accept certain trade offs living here and am so far OK ... Read More

Hi, It聮s not always easy to decide in which area to settle in when moving to Malaysia. According to you, what are the best cites to live in? Which regions offer most of the job opportunities, a good quality of life, an affordable cost of ...
My preferences: 1) KL (for access to EVERYTHING an expat could want -- including my Blueberry Pop Tars that I have only ever managed to find at BIG in Publika) 2) Kota Kinabalu (for its laid back vibe and its easy access to the South China Sea and ... Read More

Hi, i was new here, having a big question... going to ask how a foreign can married with a malaysian? and how can a foreign can get a citizen at malaysia?
@RedBuffalo: My advice would be to keep things as simple as possible. Your fiance's refugee status and questions over his religious status are likely to throw wrenches into any plans to get married here in Malaysia. If you have all the ... Read More

In spite of all of the cynicism and scams out there, it IS possible to find true love online. People just have to ditch their rose tinted glasses and quit leaving their brains at the door out of desperation to be with someone. And they need to trust ... Read More

Moving from spouse visa to working visa by Ohnzandt
Hi all, Just received my spouse visa (phew). I'm a free lancer and was wondering what I would have to do to have the part about not being able to work removed. Do I just need an offer letter from any employer, and if so, do I then need to ...
Ideally, people SHOULD go to Immigration and ask these technical questions personally. First hand information is always best and one person's information or experience is not always applicable to someone else -- even when dealing with the SAME ... Read More

If no one with recent practical experience in doing this responds, then I have two suggestions: 1) Pay a visit to the Immigration office in KL (if practical to do so) and ask about the process personally. 2) Visit or call the 色花堂riate ... Read More

If you haven't already got the forms to apply for the renewal, then would suggest that you go to the office that issued your original LTSVP and get them from there. You can also ask about what you need to submit with the application for renewal. ... Read More
