Anyways.... apologies to Geedee... we'll get back on Topic shall we. A good link for Johor info from PW, despite getting out of bed the wrong side this morning ;-)

We've spoken before of the arguing and nastiness that goes on on other parts of BE and similar forums - let's keep it out of our Malaysia section please.

The best thing to do with people who are being argumentative is ignore them.

I had someone trying to kick off at me on a Singapore site one time - I replied thanking her for reminding me why I hadn't used the site for months and never used it again (it was full of argumentative people!)

We all get along fine in the Canada section.... we must be nicer immigrants!!

Anyway, that's the thread effectively closed then.....not to worry, I got some great advice. Thanks.

Sue, instead of deleting fair comment why doesn't this site open an idiots board for the challenged like Nemodot to show what they're full of, and the rest of us can choose to ignore it ?

But it's also like explaining a joke, if you have to then . . .
I think you are missing the point. Disagreeing with another member is one thing, and it's ok to do so. I'm not asking people to get along. But we do ask is that people do not start name calling and making personal digs at other members. It adds nothing to an argument.

So by all means agree to disagree, but lets keep the name calling and personal remarks out of it.

Many thanks.

Lets get this thread back on track and apologies to the OP who asked:

They told me that I could get a 3 month temporary stay visa, but that was it. They also said that with an MM2H visa (which we won't be able to get anyway!) you cannot leave Malaysia! That sounds like bull biscuits to me....

Those of you who are working in Singapore, and living in Johor.... how do you do it?? Any and all help sincerely appreciated!

geedee,at the risk of being seen to advertise, if you think you might be perhaps a borderline case for MM2H, I'd say give Yvonne at Joystay a try..very good indeed. www.joy-stay.com
Kennyboy..... I've been in touch with Yvonne at JoyStay. Very, very helpful and professional. Thanks for the recommendation. I don't qualify for MM2H (until we've sold our house!), but she's been a real help. Thanks.
