Is there nobody to help with that process, or do I just call the embassy?

mdec.my/derantau

i dont know if you need help beyond that

Also, do either of you have access to a good visa lawyer or similar?

You're kinda selling it to me.

try the digital nomad visa first? there is also something called mm2h - which you could qualify for with $$. you get a social visit pass, long term

@byte Could you suggest some areas in Kuala Lumpur to look into? Ideally safe, modern and walkable (as far as possible).

@leifjerami Same question to you.

downtown kl. mont' kiara. bangsar (nearer telawi or bsc). surprisingly, ttdi (near the mrt). mont' kiara is filled with lots of expats and is plenty walkable

Thoughts on Mendoza? Seems to have lots of space and clean air and water from the Andes?

Gotcha, it did come up when searching for beaches with trash in Malaysia on Google.

You googled "beaches with trash in Malaysia"?😲

Gotcha - that was my worry. Yeah, this is frequent trading, not long term holds at all.

So likely considered income. But it is still foreign, I thought foreign sourced income is exempt?

best to speak to a tax person, you have to structure it wisely for foreign source exemptions

I did have a rather long stay in Bali in 2021, when it was at its cleanest. Even the most pristine beaches, you'd get the occasional chocolate bar packaging floating next to you, ruining the experience.

But this isn't downtown London - rather a pristine beach.

And, London is nothing to strive towards in terms of cleanness - lol.

:) there are good beaches in malaysia (not kl). don't worry about it. langkawi as an island might be good for a digital nomad even (its duty free so liquor is cheap)

Haha, good to know. I don't drink alcohol though :)

Wait, which "pristine" beach are you talking about? In the article? That's actually like a river/sewer near water village squatters and wet market, not a public beach.
