I am thinking of retiring to Sabah, Kota Kinabalu under Malaysia My Second Home Scheme.

We plan to visit in May 2009 to scout out the area.

Is there anyone out there who can fill me in on the programme and the Sabah area as a retiral base?

If you go back to Forum / Living & Moving Abroad / Far East

click the blue button (top right) marked "search this Forum" and type in MM2H. There's quite a lot of info.

But hopefully someone will put a reply on this thread too!



PS Sorry, I'm not being sarcastic re the above but the search button is not very prominent on this website. Could do with a re-design maybe??

What I now about Malaysia and Borneo is that Borneo have its own rules. Even if you have a 3 month visa on arrival to Malaysia you only get one month stay in the Malaysian territory of Borneo like Sabah, Kota Kinabalu. Borneo is one another regulation and are some what independent of Peninsular Malaysia in that way.You as a foreigner will have to give your passport away fore another inspection and are only allowed for 30 days stay. If you want to live on Malaysian territory of Borneo its gonna be another case than Malaysian mainland.
Someone els I hope can give you more input!
Maby MM2H dos not exists there?

Whilst I a drawn, from afar, to Borneo, perhaps it would be more sensible to look at the Peninsula to live and Borneo for hols?
