Re: Applying to work under MM2H

I haven't gone through the process myself, but a friend has a work permit even though he's on MM2H. It is not the MM2H holder who applies for the work permit. It is the company that wants to hire the...

Re: Foreign driving licence conversions to cease

Yes. You only have to show your foreign license at the counter. They do not take it from you.

Re: Decent banking options in Malaysia?

I do not know. I never owned any property in Malaysia and don't know the rules related to this.

Re: Anyone moved to KL via MM2H?

Alter Domus indeed has a lot of positive reviews, mainly from people living in Penang, where Alter Domus is based. Having said that, they have recently opened some satellite offices elsewhere in the...

Re: CNN article. What to believe

Greetings from Penang!
I don't think that you will be able to rent anything decent for USD 300~500 in KL or Penang. More likely you'll be spending about RM2k ~ 4k per month (approx. USD 450 ~ 900...

Re: Decent banking options in Malaysia?

Based on hearsay it is the latter: when an account holder passes away (and the bank learns about it) they'll block the account until it has become crystal clear who inherits this account. In case it...

Re: August 2022: Malaysia now taxes foreign-sourced income not taxed at source

My recommendation: don't trust Copilot, or any other AI for that matter. They get their information from the same internet as you do. It would be nice if Copilot tells you the source where it gets...

Re: Decent banking options in Malaysia?

That question is not easy to answer because banking needs differ per person. What is a suitable bank for person A might be highly insufficient for person B. Several of my non-Malaysian friends use...

Re: Savings account comparison sites?

You mean something like this: https://www.geld.nl/sparen/spaarrente/overzicht
Many options are showing when searching for "spaarrente vergelijk". I assume that your Dutch wife can speak Dutch...

Re: Anyone moved to KL via MM2H?

Money changing? That's something I haven't done in ages, given modern digital technology.
I can't comment on KL as I live in Penang.

Re: MDAC required for foreign visitors from 01 Dec 2023

My wife and I are on MM2H and have never filled out an MDAC when returning to Malaysia from abroad. Never got into trouble for it (we have never been asked about it either).

Re: MM2H or Residence pass (ex Malaysian)

I'm not sure if this is what you refer to: holders of a Permanent Residence in Malaysia receive a MyKad in a red color, whereas regular MyKad's have a blue background.

Re: August 2022: Malaysia now taxes foreign-sourced income not taxed at source

That entire website had its last update on 31 October 2019. Be very careful with what you read there as the rules have changed multiple times since then.

Re: August 2022: Malaysia now taxes foreign-sourced income not taxed at source

Yeah, those Malaysian texts are a bit vague, and have been discussed multiple times over how to interpret them. It seems as if they do not relate to private (or individual) pension plans, but only...

Re: August 2022: Malaysia now taxes foreign-sourced income not taxed at source

Correct. If you pay tax over these withdrawals in the UK (either sipp transfers it to the UK government, or you pay the tax in the UK) then you don't need to declare the amount you receive in...

Re: August 2022: Malaysia now taxes foreign-sourced income not taxed at source

The way how @stepen explains it it would mean the following: if the sipp withholds UK taxes before paying monthly/yearly/whatever amount to you then you don't need to pay tax in Malaysia over the...

Re: August 2022: Malaysia now taxes foreign-sourced income not taxed at source

That is correct. It was, until recently, the plan to tax foreign income as of 2026. But a few months ago it was decided by the government to postpone that plan by ten years. Hence, taxation of...

Re: Reopening: Moving to KL, Sri KDU international school. Help!

I can't comment on your school related questions. But cost of living is similar to asking about the length of a piece of string. It depends a lot on what your living style is, what kind of foods and...

Re: "intention letter"

I don't know how the document is called in the country you're from, but you must have a fresh document from your administration confirming that you are married with your spouse.
