malaysia has some notes around foreign sourced income, but trading is treated as income, vs. long term investments that aren't (no cgt). you can have a HK company to handle this. speak to a tax person
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

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