Another great video with great information, thank you! I agree about Alter Domus being very trustworthy; we used them to help us apply for MM2H (unfortunately it was 2020 and the program got shut down). Also agree that Sarawak would be a great place to live. I hope the move to your new apartment goes smoothly.

I'm a little more positive about retiring in Malaysia now because of the BRICS application. Will you do a video about that?

Early days but the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is looking the easiest from a cost and certainty viewpoint. Seeing how the Sarawak alternative plays out will be interesting

What a wonderful video. Busy packing, are you arranging the movement on your own or you have hired a packer and a mover.

I keep telling you if I were your HouseBoy I'd spare you from all that dreadful packing. All you'd have to do is plunk your sweet self down on a chaise lounge, drink the pitchers of Cosmo's I whipped up for you and your friends and enjoy that sweet life in the Tropics. Ain't life GRAND???😊

Just finished a 3 week vacation in Malaysia. Currently waiting for a huge line to rent a car at LAX. Compared to renting a car in KL, the car was delivered to our KL hotel and picked up from our hotel in Penang for a fraction of the cost. Already missing Malaysia, the place, the amazing scenery and mostly the people. Actually started to miss Malaysia once got to Singapore before leaving SEA aleady

I believe Sarawak MM2H requirement is a fixed deposit of MYR150, 000 (30, 000 GBP) in a Malaysian bank, a monthly income of no less than MYR7000 (1, 400GBP) and proof of good health. One has to remain in Sarawak for a continual period of at least 30 days within a calendar year. The visa is valid for 5 years and is renewable.
Sabah has a requirement of a fixed deposit of MYR200, 000 (40, 000GBP). A certificate of 'good conduct from their home country is required along with proof you are in good health. A purchase of an apartment (condo) is allowed at a minimum spend of MYR600, 000 (GBP120, 000). A 30 day stay is mandatory. The visa is for 5 years and is renewable.
Both Sarawak and Sabah visas allow access to the whole of Malaysia.

Governments around the world have their own set of rules and justifications to accept long term foreigners into their countries. Shop around for a place that meets your needs. Good additional info Taylor

[keangwooichoo]

I hv watched both nomad capitalist and nomad elite. Nomad elite agreed that sarawak is the best

[KOP]

MM2H agents are busy answering questions rather than handling visa applications. For existing MM2H holders, I heard that the 10-year visa is shortened to 5 years upon renewal, and who knows what other changes they might implement

[michaelhiggins]

Thanks for this informative update Taylor as well as the encouragement. The world is a much better place with you in it.

Hey 👋🏽 Taylor, im heading to Sarawak with my 4 kids and husband in August and we're looking into SMM2H 🤞🏽and hopefully move from the UK by the end of 2024. We chose Sarawak as it seems smoother than the KL side ❤

Be careful about staying there for 90 days for consecutive years (back to back). They may tag you as a tax resident on your worldwide income, see below:

90 Days Rule: You're present in Malaysia for at least 90 days during the calendar year and have been resident/present in Malaysia for 90 days in any three of the past four years.

[nisaahamiltonmuhammad]

You forgot the Labaun visa. That's what I have

[maxsoon]

Sabah will follow the steps of Sarawak. The government of that State sees the opportunity to brings more foreigners to invest Sabah. Cheers.

Thanks for the info. Approximately how much a license S-MM2H agent will charge & do you recommend an agent. I am planning to start my Sarawak visa. Thanks
