@mypat I have the same thinking as you and believe tax payments could help skew immigration in our favour especially when it comes to PR applications. But have you heard of any cases where this really helped? What inspired you to write this ... Read More

@iskandarhack Good luck for your 2nd interview! Did you apply as a spouse of a Malaysian citizen? Or are you taking another route e.g. in Malaysia long-term on Employment Pass? I am hoping to apply for PR for my husband once he has hit the 5 year ... Read More
Residence Pass - Talent - Application Rejection by KK_Kris
I have recently applied for the Residence Talent pass and unfortunately my application was un successful. Does any one know whether I can re apply for the RP-T Visa later and also does the RPT team provide reason for rejection ? Any information on ...
Hi @Darren889945 , Am wondering how one would go about getting a "recommendation letter from recognized government sector or agency to prove your contribution". I have read that this helps with PR applications too, but unfortunately we do not liaise ... Read More
Landlord Problems after leaving MY by fir3wall90uk
Hi, I have a weird situation and would be very thankful for any advise as I'm really now desperate and lost. I was living in MY for almost 2Y and moved out February this year. Due to fast move (company changes, covid) I've left all my ...
So all landlords deserve to be conned of their rental in return? Everyone should pay what they owe. Owe rent? Pay it. Those who like to shortchange others will never have abundance. Read More

Cvco, are you actually telling people to break the law? A tenancy agreement spells out the minimum contract duration and the deposits are for damages, not paying rent. By telling people not to pay their rent, well that's illegal. Be fair to ... Read More
Life as a digital nomad in Malaysia by Diksha
Hi everyone, Digital nomadism has become more and more popular in the past few months and Malaysia seems to be the perfect spot for it. If you are a digital nomad yourself, please share with us your experience of this new way of working in ...
Internet here is way faster than what I had in Switzerland and the UK in the past. Maybe those commenting otherwise were living in Kedah or didn't know how to set up their wifi for concrete condo living. That said, the visa situation does suck. ... Read More

Hi! Could I ask you some questions about the Labuan company? We heard that it has gotten rather difficult to set up this structure. Something like requiring a certain amount of operational expense in Labuan and having a minimum number of staff. Is ... Read More

Hi everyone, I am 26 years old french guy. I plan to settle down in KL with my girlfriend (Malaysian) in January 2021. I have a master's degree in business and 2 years of working experience in real estate market. I would like to know the ...
Hi Clement, My husband and I went through similar at the beginning. To keep it short for others, it may not be easy for you to get a job here while on a tourist visa as companies need to get an employment pass for you. However, if you do get ... Read More

COVID-19 and expatriation in Malaysia by Loïc
Hello everybody, The COVID-19 crisis inevitably impacts Malaysia, between closed airports or periods of containment in some cities or even the entire country . We would like to hear from you during this unusual period, to find out what the ...
Great conversation topic, Loïc! As usual there'll always be a couple of wet blankets around who focus on the negatives only...... I'm not an expat, but a returning Malaysian with a foreign husband, and we have been living in KL for 5 ... Read More
IT Salaries in KL by r0008
Hello! I'm interested in relocation to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I've done some research on IT salaries in KL and I'm not able to identify real IT ranges in Malaysia. For example, the 2019 salary benchmark from Michael Page Malaysia ...
For some RM10k/month is a lot. In Indonesia they may not make that much, so they're happy here. If you're from a stronger currency country like Europe, it may not make sense for you to come here unless you have a partner here, or want to ... Read More
Unmarried Spouse - Dependent Pass or Long Term Visit Pass by rhinola
Hello My question is whether my unmarried spouse could enter Malaysia on a dependent pass or would need to get a long term visit pass. I'm an experienced Financial Services professional who is about to get a job offer from one of the Big4 ...
It depends on where you live at the moment. Some countries are able to issue formal letters to state that you are common law partners. Previously when I lived in Switzerland, I know that I would need proof of a shared address for a certain number of ... Read More
Re-entering using the 90-day Social Visit Visa shortly after leaving? by jojoefo
I am thinking about applying to Malaysia's MTEP programme, but before I do, I would like to see if living there for a longer period of time is something for me. I am self employed, and hold a Danish passport. All my businesses are online, so I ...
jojoefo I don't recommend the MTEP visa, you can search in this forums for my experience with it (or rather my husband's but I posted about it). Another friend has the MPTE visa, and now has problems renewing after the 2 years (his business ... Read More

I think an estimate of RM100-120k per year for an experienced hire, depending on your qualifications and experience. You can have a look at jobstreet.com for openings. They usually give an indication of the range of salaries. Read More
Rapid inflation and economy tanking by Nemodot
Although I took a job in Korea 2 years ago (more than double Malaysian pay), I am in Malaysia a lot due to family, and thinking of coming back but what the hell with price rises and the economy. Loads of shops are closed, Melaka is decimated ...
interesting observation, but i wonder if it's more a sign of fewer expats/tourists in KL city centre... As a local PJ/TTDI girl, I have only ever been to Changkat like maybe 3x in my life (twice for joining expat friends for dinner!). It's ... Read More
