Big potential change to Sarawak MM2H by Cobolin
This is such a big change for many future and potentially existing holders of SMM2H that I think it merits a new thread.Thanks to @Nemodot for bringing this to our attention. The January 2023 issue of Expat Magazine says that the latest approval ...
O ye of little faith, the mention of Elites - or not - and as the case may be, whether they can be bothered with a relatively modest source of potential personal enrichment arising from what is only one aspect of a goodwill scheme, (but one that ... Read More
