Re: Think of moving from Thailand to Malaysia

It's been a long time since I posted here - mainly because our house build took up so much of our time over the last couple of years. I too live in Melaka, at Batu Berendam, near the airport - a bit...

Re: What's going on in Melaka then?

Are you sure it doesn't happen in Penang, BB? Or is it that it could be happening and you are not aware of it?

I am certainly aware of the culture of "Black Magic" here in Melaka - not sure about...

Re: How long to get visas?

You will get a 90 day visit pass each stamped into your passports. That actually states that you are not entitled to work. Again, I can only give you my example from 2006, and I was being employed on...

Re: How long to get visas?

For nationals of a lot of countries, you will get 90 days stamped in your passport on arrival. If the worst comes to the very worst, pop down to Singapore for a weekend a couple of weeks before...

Re: Thought someone said this couldn't happen in Malaysia

To be perfectly honest, I do not know. Of course there has been a lot of trouble in the North around the Thai border for a number of years. As far as I can make out, that is mainly Thais and I would...

Re: Will a UK TV work in Malaysia

I wouldn't necessarily say they will be fine and you won't need to change anything. We brought 2 Sony Bravias with us from the UK (52" & 46") last year that we bought about 4 or 5 years ago. We did...

Re: Penang potential move? Teaching in Penang?

AS far as I know the spouse visa has been replaced by the Long Term Stay Visit Pass - there is a 'sticky' at the top of the page which has been added to a number of times. It would seem that...

Re: Penang potential move? Teaching in Penang?

a) that will depend on where you were married - if it was in...

Re: MM2H, residency and tax

You cannot just do a Malaysian Tax Return. First you have to register with the Tax Authorities.

Re: Melaka
