One of the things that Immigration will ask for during the LTSVP application process is proof of your wife's income so that she can demonstrate that she has the means to support you. You mentioned that she recently started a business. If so, I ... Read More

Hello, I am a U.S citizen planning to marry my Malay girlfriend in Malaysia in a Malay Muslim wedding. I am not Muslim but want to convert. It is my understanding that I must present a Certificate of Conversion otherwise called the Shahada for us ...
Hello puertasdecielo... The process for a foreign man to marry a Malay Muslim woman is quite cumbersome and involves several steps and a multitude of paperwork beyond simply providing proof that he is a natural born Muslim or has converted. How ... Read More
Migrating to Malaysia outside of the MM2H program by marukai47
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 ...

In retrospect, would you move again to Malaysia? by Christine
Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in Malaysia, would you heartily say "letÂ’s do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do certain ...
There may be a big difference in the answers of those who came to Malaysia for work or retirement and those who came to join a Malaysian spouse. I'm in the latter category, and it made more sense for me to move here since my wife's daughter ... Read More

Hi, ItÂ’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

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 Expatriate ... Read More
