HiI have applied for SMM2H visa in February 2023. My agent told me it will take max 90 days to get it and collected MYR 8K as a non refundable deposit followed by an agreement stating that I will have to pay MYR 5K upon approval. The agent sent me ...
As a MM2H 2010 qnd renewed in June 2020 for 10 years, alot has changed, its not that foreigners are not welcome, rather its not as friendly as use to be in 2010. we found a huge change in 2019 onwards but Malaysia is safe. so long as you dont ... Read More

Anyone can give me advice? My contract will expire february2023 but due to some family matters back in my country, I tendered my resignation with 30 days advance notice.My contract stated that I can only resign if the company breach the ...
I don't believe anyone has the right to hold anyone against their wish, so long as adequate notice is given and based on circumstances. I was not aware there is a law that stops one from leaving based on a clause in contract, which is real slavery ... Read More

VAL got Rejected by Bayat Nabiulin
Hello everyone. A few weeks ago my eval was rejected by immigration. The reason for that was overstay, as they said. The actual story is that when I completed my diploma program, I had to leave Malaysia before 7th January. I have left on 6th ...
@Bayat Nabiulin If they have accepted their error than it should be ok. It just that everything here takes forever, so receiving an update from them may take a while, as they work just a few hours. This is a food country, so every eats on time ... Read More
Cost of hiring a domestic helper in Johor Bahru by diptichauhan
Hi. My family is thinking of moving to JB in a few months' time from Hong Kong. We'd like to take our current helper who is Filipina, but understand that this is really difficult. How easy or hard is it to hire a local maid and is it ...
Local maid in Malaysia? The normal locals don't work, so don't think a local maid will work. Its a big problem getting quality people here, but am sure there must be a way to get your Pilipino maid here. Not sure what visa you need to move here, but ... Read More

From what I know, you can get a DP when within the country and there is a free to pay, which is basically a fee which says in country visa transfer. (or something along these lines) Usually corporates will work with agencies that do the visa ... Read More
