Thank you so much for making these videos! I have been seriously considering moving to Malaysia with my family sometime this year. We are going to visit in September. I've lived in Canada and the states my whole life... but these past few years I have really wanted to leave and live in a muslim country. Life here is increasingly more and more suffocating, especially with a lot of things that are beings pushed in schools/ how our tax dollars are funding genocide. It's so difficult being a muslim in the West and I truly feel the quality of life in other parts of the world is honestly so much better. Honestly, just having access to halal food everywhere, hearing the azan, for the hijab to be absolutely normalized... would be such great blessings. I visited Malaysia many years ago and really enjoyed it.
I really love moderate Canadian because you guys are cool bunch. Love Just Laugh for a life time, but things change. Hopefully your life will get better and be a better Muslim by moving to Malaysia.
Same here as a mum, I wanted to move to a Muslim country but also affordable, but I just don’t know what to do with school as I want him to get the best education and language is a barrier. Please give me some advice. Homeschooling will be troubling because I would need to work as a teacher.
If your children go to international school in Malaysia, they get student’s visa + one guardian visa (the mother) whilst the father works abroad and sends money to the family. A lot of korean families do this
Our family did that. We got dependent visa for me (mom) through our kids international school. But we hated not having my husband live with us. Unfortunately we made the difficult decision to leave Malaysia to be together. Never will we ever settle a country that doesn't let us live together. It is a beautiful country and I loved it so much.
@@khadras7jto be honest, it’s ridiculous isnt it. I know some families do this, but i cant. Also why these visas (mm2h, dependent visa etc) dont allow the person to work. They are already in the country, let them work & pay tax 🤦🏻♀️. I would like to get mm2h for my husband (longer validity) but if he’s “not allowed to work” then how are we gonna pay rm170k school fees for two kids. My husband works for himself & online, also employs me, all income from abroad, and we would like to transfer the tax into malaysia… i’m yet to decide which visa is suitable to for him.
The most important thing that changed in our lives is ? REMOTE WORK , and especially after Covid-19. People found ways to work from home. That takes us to another level ? Can my home be in Malaysia 🇲🇾 and I remote work for a company in London or Dubai? This is the big question NOW. I think it will happen or it is happening NOW. 20 years ago, some architectural firms in America started something called at that time flex schedule, I know the title is misleading. You are a female architect, you are a mother and got infant children. All your work is on the computer. You meet your clients in the office, get their specs on their house and that is it. You go to your home and design everything from the comfort of your home with your kids by your side. You don’t need supervision, because you have to produce the plans for the house. Questions and other matters could be Handled by phone then. I think you are getting what I am trying to say. Do we live in a world today, where you can live anywhere in the world you want and work remotely anywhere in the world you want ? Obviously, not all jobs can be done remotely. So choose your career wisely.
I’m a 37 year young Muslim born in Malaysia. I’m willing to assist my brothers and sisters who want to know a bit about this and that on this small land country that has been borrowed to me. Which I, I mean we, will leave it all behind soon. Salaam

Yes I totally agree that living in Malaysia is really a brilliant idea. The people are very welcoming. You really feel at ease without having to feel that you have to adjust to fit in with everyone. I recommend people to apply for the MMH2 once you have checked it out by taking a holiday trip first 👍👌

Sis, you may consider IMAS international school in Putrajaya. Good Islamic school with mixed of different nationalities and offering IGCSE Cambridge syallabus for primary, secondary and a-levels. Fees are moderately okay 12k myr per year
Rental of 500 to 1000 Ringgit will only get you a room in KL unless you want to stay in a dilapidated unit and in a remote area. You would need to live on a very small town to rent on that budget. Not possible in Penang or Johor Bahru either.May not be practical for someone who doesn't speak local languages to stay in a small town. A more reasonable budget would be 1.5k to 2k for a 2 bedroom condo , or a landed house but it wont be in a gated guarded estate . I doubt you could live comfortably on 3k Ringgit. I am Malaysian btw. With a family you would need 10k if there are 4 of you . Not including sch fees.
@@street_smartss137 even then good luck . Food, electricity, water and maintenance for the house you buy( monthly 250 to 500 ) if gated and guarded, property taxes etc , maintaining a car etc she seems to have forgotten about these.

Yes. Getting the visa from the school is one way. Children will need about RM40-50k per year for international school, IGCSE, IB, Australian Canadian etc Pre-U....take your pick. They can then join local campuses of Monash, Nottingham, Heriot Watt or do twinning degrees at local private universities linked to Lancaster, Woolongong, etc and still be in Malaysia.
Love your videos. They are a breath of fresh air and get down to the facts. Please do one on bugs, mosquitoes (should residents take tablets). Health care costs would be useful as well 🙂
Thank you for this video. My goal now as a 22 year old is to save enough money to get a visa in Malaysia. Hopefully the visa requirement and cost of living isn’t too bad in a decades time. Malaysia is my only hope in this global cost of living crisis.

Dont forget to go Bazaar Ramadhan in your area, exclusively on Ramadhan season. There's lots of local cuisine which mostly rare and hard to find during normal time. Some or most are freshly prepared and hell cheap too (well at least compare to GBP currency) 😆
best visa to Malaysia is spouse visa haha :v i have studied in Malaysia 5yrs , the job market and immigration conditions doesn’t even allow ones to apply for jobs, even if employers wants you to hire , immigration have put ridiculous laws in place that makes employers job difficult to hire someone. Really loved Malaysia a lot, nature, people and, weather are so great like heaven. would be my dream come true if i could be in Malaysia rather than Germany where i am rn. Good luck for people if they can stay there :)
How was your experience with the universities there? Which did you attend? Thinking it may be a good experience for my children to study at undergraduate level there while myself and wife semi-retire there as a base in SEA
@@silversurfer6758 Engineering, Uni Malaya , education student life is good.. Depending on what is your expectations, living in Malaysia is wonderful, but opportunities are null for foreign students, for engineering students basically even mandatory internships . IT comSci students might get Jobs but odds are not getting one is higher becasue of immigration laws. In summary, education lifestyle is good , but you would get better opportunities if you choose another country, cause malaysia even public unis arent worth it anymore if you have expectations more than education.
@@ihsanas Thanks for your response. Are you saying that education is good, but prospects within Malaysia not good afterwards? I had noticed that some universities in Malaysia offer courses that 'twin' with other universities based in UK, Australia, USA; effectively gaining a qualification from the twin university while having the opportunity to live in Malaysia while studying. Employment could be sought in other countries after completion of studies? Do you have any thoughts on that approach? Thanks.
@@silversurfer6758 yes, there’s actually no prospective in Malaysia. Education is good in a sense that you get educated in top universities rank wise with reasonable amount of money. But nowadays it’s not that reasonable though in my opinion. I said before for engineering is null opportunity. For IT , yes little bit, for example i know one IT person who topped his interview in a MNC, and there were no competent local in that position, yet he got rejected 2time by local authorities and 1 time at immigration, his MNC company had to wait 8months and raise his salary to match Immigration requirements, which is quite high for Grad students. This could have been a month process in Europe. Later he left Malaysia because of this and now joined FANG.
You can also check Andrew Taylor video, an American retire who's currently live in Malaysia under Malaysia as 2nd Home program, he made a lot of videos on tips and also interviewing other foreign retirees currently in Malaysia.
Hi, thank you for sharing your content. I’d love to learn more about schooling, childcare, a walk through day to day cost, the next steps after the 5 year visa expires, and all of it 😅 please. Really thank you for this ❤😊😊

That is correct. The DE Rantau visa is available for digital nomads and remote workers. It will let you stay for 12 months and can be extended for another 12 months. Will let you bring your spouse and children as well.

Great video, thank you. I'm British too, and looking to be based in Malaysia part of the year too. Has the mm2h gone live? I'm told the visa issuance process never got started after they made the big announcement about the 3 tiers. Would be great if you could shed more light on the current mm2h situation. Many thanks indeed 🙏
To foreign sisters and brothers who choose Malaysia as second home. Welcome! I’m proud Malaysian resided in Malacca as well and working in KL. To stay peacefully in Malaysia..just avoid criticise anything on 3R (Religion, Race & Royal). Generally Malaysian very friendly and cordial particularly the Malays that represent 60% of Malaysia population. They don’t bother you much, very much will welcome you as family member and keep feeding you (because we are very proud of our food) unless you start to criticise Islam as the official religion of this country, special right reserve for the Malays and Bumiputra (indegenious people) and talking bad about Malay rulers I.e. the royal. Remember this tips…you will love Malaysia and Malaysian will love you.
Now that I think about it Maybe buying a farm so you can grow your own organic fruits and vegetables, perhaps have some bees for honey and chickens for eggs. Live nature, and eat Allah’s food and not manufactured food.
MM2H is a complicated mess right now. The tiering scheme you described is only part of the new requirements. The offshore income requirement has not been eliminated although many assume that it is. It would be inconceivable that the government would actually eliminate the offshore income requirement and admit people who have not shown that they are able to support themselves.
I'd be interested in your upcoming videos into specific areas: schooling, living costs etc. Also can you shed some light on any particular job search websites and guidance on going through the work visa process. If you know of anyone whose gone through the work visa process and can do a guest appearance that would be great. Thank you!
Me as a Malaysian will advice you to search for a job in jobseeker website. Honestly, the job that available for the foreigner mostly only in the management level. The nxt best option is if you open your own business and have a special contract with a local companies as a consultant or service provider.
Alhamdulillah, Allah has written our rizq for us, so not to worry, insha Allah, Allah will make it possible. If it is blessed for us, then may Allah make it so! ameen
interesting , i was looking into Dubai but I dont want my children to be spoiled and it seems UAE encourages liberalism which i am trying to get away from in the USA . Barak allh feeky sister
Amazing, great info, thanks a lot for sharing. Could you please do videos about school (English, or French) for kids, what type of schools (private, or gov) are there and how much they cost.
Rent in Malaysia quite expensive depends to the area you are willing to rent .. outskirt of Kuala Lumpur the price is sometimes cheap that is also depend to the area sometime it is consider posh because of the name of the locality .. rent is RM 1200 to RM 6000 ..
Mashaallah I have made hijrah to Malaysia from south africa with my kids...made a move and Allah guide us all in the right direction... We make dua that this becomes our permanent home... Love your video Saira... Wish you all the best in Malaysia.....
@SairaHayati Thank you for your videos. We are really keen on moving to malaysia, for the same reasons as you. Our only hold back is our youngest daugter is disabled. We live in the UK and the support here does seem amazing compared to other countries around the world. We wanted to ask if you would know what the support for individuals with disabilities be? Eg education, medical support etc. I would appreciate it if you are able to find out a little about moving to malaysia with a disabled child? Jzk

Hello! im a new revert from USA and my life as a muslim here in usa is very hard. very very hard . im the only one in the town wearing hijab and a lot of people dont understand me as a muslim. i would love to study islam in malaysia please help me to get out of this country supporting the genocide in palestine.
Hi. I m Roshan from Mumbai. India... I must say u r a very strong lady.. U said u r there to change our lives.. That just gave so much a fresh air to breathe.. I felt refreshing.. I was looking to have a better place to live away from my motherland... But ur videos on Malaysia gave me a good option to think over.. Thanks. Ma'am.. I m really grateful... Take care. 👍
Wonderful video, thinking about move from uk , if company allow remotely working. Thank you make informative video , otherwise wouldn’t know . Looking forward to next one .
Hello dear, Thank you for making these informative videos. Kindly also mention about the medical treatment/insurance. How it works in Malaysia. Keep up the good work 💐💐
Would love to buy a property in Malaysia but only if I can stay which I’m not in a position to do 🙃 love your videos and am enjoying following your journey. Love your down to earth approach. Many thx for all the info. I’ll be heading out in November for the 90 days I’m allowed 😁👍🏻Blessings upon you and yours ✨
Good video! See in Morocco, the residency visas for a European/American costs £10 to apply and extremely easy! That's about 2yrs stay. And then you can renew for another 5yrs or 10yrs. So it's stressless.
Visa in Malaysia is free and 3 months is automatically given to most countries, but she's talking about residency - how to stay in Malaysia with no visa but as a resident.
@@nutzhazel sorry I should have made it clear, visa is free in Morocco too, and if you do in and out you can automatically renew your visa in Morocco for years and years.... However, if you apply for residency it only costs £10 per application.
Thank you Saira. I feel your English speed is fine, but i some of the videos that Urdu inserts confused the hell out of me. Just slow down a bit, and stay on the topic, otherwise I love your video, and what you are doing. You are my fav sista...
Who has over $100k usd bag just sitting around? The average Joe doesn’t. This is absolutely boggling to me because I am retired and meet the monthly income requirements for a family. I have 3 kids plus their father making it 5 of us, but I certainly don’t have 70,80 or 100k usd cash sitting around or I would have invested in land or property. This makes absolutely no sense to me.
I think your visa information is incorrect. The Malaysia My Second Home Program is not taking applications currently. It has been suspended for some time. Only visa renewals are accepted.
MASHALLAH So happy to see you and family and also like to live as a Muslim life style MAY ALLAH GIVES YOU MORE AND MORE AMEEN how to dm or wtsap chat with you I am also planning to move to UK but your video change my mind
A Big Mac meal costs 16 Ringgit and a KFC snack plate costs 21Ringgit. If you grab coffee at Starbucks it would cost anything from 15 to 25 Ringgit just for the coffee. Good luck trying to live on the numbers she is putting out. I am living in Malaysia currently. Just my electricity bill is 800 Ringgit because we run 2 Aircons at night and 1 for 8 hours a day while working from home. My family of 3 lives comfortably on 8k Ringgit a month not including rent or mortgage. Our house is fully paid. But I pay property taxes of over 1K Ringgit per year.
@@danielokeeffe9370 we run a biz in Singapore so our income is over 15k USD per month. We also maintain a house in Singapore and are only here like 2 weeks a month. But I am merely commenting on the figures Saira is giving out. She is making it sound liks you can get by on 3k or so Ringgit.
You pay over RM1000 a year in property taxes and think that's bad. I'm in Australia and my property taxes are RM8,0000 or thereabouts annually. Malaysia is dirt cheap compared to Australia. We are being bludgeoned by tax in the west. Those costs I've quoted don't include income tax. CGT, stamp duty and GST.
@@lizzy9975 I think I need to clarify something. This is my second home. We are from Singapore. We run our own biz so we spend sometime in Malaysia, work from home. Our home in Singapore is a condo worth over 2million SGD( about Aussie 2.5million) we pay higher taxes for that one. We also pay very high stamp duty for each additional property we buy in Singapore. Over 20% for the second unit . I am not complaining about property or any tax in Malaysia or Singapore. Malaysia is dirt cheap compared to Australia and Australian property prices are dirt cheap compared to Singapore. Every country is different. My whole point in providing figures is to debunk the misleading picture provided in this video. Malaysia is cheap but it would be hard to live as cheaply as she says it is possible to.
@@lindc1070 Prices and the cost of living are out of control in Australia. That's what happens I guess when we keep voting in governments that want to tax us into oblivion and give it to the incompetent and lazy. We have an endless round of the government printing money. Spending it. Unions insisting on ever higher wages and inflation that won't ease. So the cost of housing and food is through the roof.
What happens after the 5 year visa is up? I get it's renewable, but i guess the risk is that the Government could change the requirements like they did i think during covid? Meaning if you can't meet the new requirements you can't renew the visa

Thank you for this video. My goal now as a 22 year old is to save enough money to get a visa in Malaysia. Hopefully the visa requirement and cost of living isn’t too bad in a decades time. Malaysia is my only hope in this global cost of living crisis.
Hopefully you achieved the targetted and expected for your generation.. Good advice
Awesome content Saira, thank you. We’re looking to make the move and wondered how we can reach out to you?

I am inspired really want to move now! X
Agree. Quality Lifestyle is so important in this era.
the bit from 13minutes is exactly what i wana do! thnx for the tip bit!
Salaam sister, your videos are inspiring!
Dont forget to go Bazaar Ramadhan in your area, exclusively on Ramadhan season. There's lots of local cuisine which mostly rare and hard to find during normal time. Some or most are freshly prepared and hell cheap too (well at least compare to GBP currency) 😆
RAMADHAN KAREEM 💚 MAY ALLAH BLEES YOU SISTER..💖
Welcome to Malaysia, hope you will enjoy your stay here
Stay? She wants to live here.
You are brainwashing me to move to Malaysia…In Sha ALLAH
best visa to Malaysia is spouse visa haha :v i have studied in Malaysia 5yrs , the job market and immigration conditions doesn’t even allow ones to apply for jobs, even if employers wants you to hire , immigration have put ridiculous laws in place that makes employers job difficult to hire someone. Really loved Malaysia a lot, nature, people and, weather are so great like heaven. would be my dream come true if i could be in Malaysia rather than Germany where i am rn. Good luck for people if they can stay there :)
How was your experience with the universities there? Which did you attend? Thinking it may be a good experience for my children to study at undergraduate level there while myself and wife semi-retire there as a base in SEA
@@silversurfer6758 Engineering, Uni Malaya , education student life is good.. Depending on what is your expectations, living in Malaysia is wonderful, but opportunities are null for foreign students, for engineering students basically even mandatory internships . IT comSci students might get Jobs but odds are not getting one is higher becasue of immigration laws. In summary, education lifestyle is good , but you would get better opportunities if you choose another country, cause malaysia even public unis arent worth it anymore if you have expectations more than education.
@@silversurfer6758 if your kids like engineering, they can take A level at German-Malaysian Institute.
@@ihsanas Thanks for your response. Are you saying that education is good, but prospects within Malaysia not good afterwards? I had noticed that some universities in Malaysia offer courses that 'twin' with other universities based in UK, Australia, USA; effectively gaining a qualification from the twin university while having the opportunity to live in Malaysia while studying. Employment could be sought in other countries after completion of studies? Do you have any thoughts on that approach? Thanks.
@@silversurfer6758 yes, there’s actually no prospective in Malaysia. Education is good in a sense that you get educated in top universities rank wise with reasonable amount of money. But nowadays it’s not that reasonable though in my opinion. I said before for engineering is null opportunity. For IT , yes little bit, for example i know one IT person who topped his interview in a MNC, and there were no competent local in that position, yet he got rejected 2time by local authorities and 1 time at immigration, his MNC company had to wait 8months and raise his salary to match Immigration requirements, which is quite high for Grad students. This could have been a month process in Europe. Later he left Malaysia because of this and now joined FANG.
Amazing information thank you.
Tell us about retired couples who would like to move to Malaysia
Will upload soon
You can also check Andrew Taylor video, an American retire who's currently live in Malaysia under Malaysia as 2nd Home program, he made a lot of videos on tips and also interviewing other foreign retirees currently in Malaysia.
Malaysia is Truly Asia🙂
Hi, thank you for sharing your content. I’d love to learn more about schooling, childcare, a walk through day to day cost, the next steps after the 5 year visa expires, and all of it 😅 please. Really thank you for this ❤😊😊

There's also a digital nomad visa called Rantau Visa if im not mistaken. Can check that out.
That is correct. The DE Rantau visa is available for digital nomads and remote workers. It will let you stay for 12 months and can be extended for another 12 months. Will let you bring your spouse and children as well.

Great video, thank you.
I'm British too, and looking to be based in Malaysia part of the year too.
Has the mm2h gone live? I'm told the visa issuance process never got started after they made the big announcement about the 3 tiers.
Would be great if you could shed more light on the current mm2h situation. Many thanks indeed 🙏
To foreign sisters and brothers who choose Malaysia as second home. Welcome! I’m proud Malaysian resided in Malacca as well and working in KL. To stay peacefully in Malaysia..just avoid criticise anything on 3R (Religion, Race & Royal). Generally Malaysian very friendly and cordial particularly the Malays that represent 60% of Malaysia population. They don’t bother you much, very much will welcome you as family member and keep feeding you (because we are very proud of our food) unless you start to criticise Islam as the official religion of this country, special right reserve for the Malays and Bumiputra (indegenious people) and talking bad about Malay rulers I.e. the royal. Remember this tips…you will love Malaysia and Malaysian will love you.
Thank you 👍🏼Sir. This Rule applies everywhere in the world.
im hooked i cant stop watching your videos. i cant stop thinking about moving there
Ur doing such a great job for us Muslims in the west seeking the same things as you are. Thank you ❤
I love love this woman.
Allahuma barik.
I love you for d sake of Allah. The way she talks, her vibes everything
Salam and thank you
Videos about grocery shopping and farmer’s market in Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thank you again
Now that I think about it
Maybe buying a farm so you can grow your own organic fruits and vegetables, perhaps have some bees for honey and chickens for eggs.
Live nature, and eat Allah’s food and not manufactured food.
MM2H is a complicated mess right now. The tiering scheme you described is only part of the new requirements. The offshore income requirement has not been eliminated although many assume that it is. It would be inconceivable that the government would actually eliminate the offshore income requirement and admit people who have not shown that they are able to support themselves.
She us giving out incorrect info.
I'd be interested in your upcoming videos into specific areas: schooling, living costs etc. Also can you shed some light on any particular job search websites and guidance on going through the work visa process. If you know of anyone whose gone through the work visa process and can do a guest appearance that would be great. Thank you!
Me as a Malaysian will advice you to search for a job in jobseeker website. Honestly, the job that available for the foreigner mostly only in the management level. The nxt best option is if you open your own business and have a special contract with a local companies as a consultant or service provider.
@@norabd7447 many thanks for the candid advoce. Personally, I think I'm about 2/3 years off a management level role. So this is achievable, inshaAllah
Just been to Malaysia for a holiday honestly its such an amazing place.
Alhamdulillah, Allah has written our rizq for us, so not to worry, insha Allah, Allah will make it possible. If it is blessed for us, then may Allah make it so! ameen
I'm already planning to move to Malaysia or Indonesia. Thanks for useful information
I'll be headed that way in November so looking forward to it. 🙂
interesting , i was looking into Dubai but I dont want my children to be spoiled and it seems UAE encourages liberalism which i am trying to get away from in the USA . Barak allh feeky sister
thank you for the great vid and response
Good information, the only thing that I would mention is $40,000 ringgit agent fee
Assalamu Alaykum, could you please do a video on international private english medium school fees in Malaysia.
Walaykumsalam yes inshallah!
Useful, straight forward, clear information. Thank you 👍🙏
Great video 👍
Thank u very much for Making these videos
Amazing, great info, thanks a lot for sharing. Could you please do videos about school (English, or French) for kids, what type of schools (private, or gov) are there and how much they cost.
Malaysian welcome you to Malaysia Saira =)
Rent in Malaysia quite expensive depends to the area you are willing to rent .. outskirt of Kuala Lumpur the price is sometimes cheap that is also depend to the area sometime it is consider posh because of the name of the locality .. rent is RM 1200 to RM 6000 ..
Mashaallah I have made hijrah to Malaysia from south africa with my kids...made a move and Allah guide us all in the right direction...
We make dua that this becomes our permanent home...
Love your video Saira...
Wish you all the best in Malaysia.....
Salaa aleikum sis, how's it going over there? 🩷
I think the comparison should also be based on earning vs expenses. If it is cheaper means the wages will be lower as well.
Asalalamuaalaikum mother! Enjoy your stay in MALAYSIA GOD BLESS 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
@SairaHayati
Thank you for your videos. We are really keen on moving to malaysia, for the same reasons as you. Our only hold back is our youngest daugter is disabled. We live in the UK and the support here does seem amazing compared to other countries around the world. We wanted to ask if you would know what the support for individuals with disabilities be? Eg education, medical support etc.
I would appreciate it if you are able to find out a little about moving to malaysia with a disabled child?

Saira start your own property agency. InSyaAllah u will do good.
Actually those who are inclined to digital lifestyle can opt for Digital Nomad Visa (De Rantau).
I love this video. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Anyway, welcome to Malaysia sis.

Hello! im a new revert from USA and my life as a muslim here in usa is very hard. very very hard . im the only one in the town wearing hijab and a lot of people dont understand me as a muslim. i would love to study islam in malaysia please help me to get out of this country supporting the genocide in palestine.
Hi. I m Roshan from Mumbai. India... I must say u r a very strong lady.. U said u r there to change our lives.. That just gave so much a fresh air to breathe.. I felt refreshing.. I was looking to have a better place to live away from my motherland... But ur videos on Malaysia gave me a good option to think over.. Thanks. Ma'am.. I m really grateful... Take care. 👍
Wonderful video, thinking about move from uk , if company allow remotely working. Thank you make informative video , otherwise wouldn’t know . Looking forward to next one .
Hello dear,
Thank you for making these informative videos.
Kindly also mention about the medical treatment/insurance. How it works in Malaysia.
Keep up the good work 💐💐
Buy in the uk, rent it out and use the rental income to rent in malaysia. UK is always. arock solid investment.
Thanks for the video. Will you upload a video about Guardian visa option in Malaysia?
Would love to buy a property in Malaysia but only if I can stay which I’m not in a position to do 🙃 love your videos and am enjoying following your journey. Love your down to earth approach. Many thx for all the info. I’ll be heading out in November for the 90 days I’m allowed 😁👍🏻Blessings upon you and yours ✨
Good video! See in Morocco, the residency visas for a European/American costs £10 to apply and extremely easy! That's about 2yrs stay. And then you can renew for another 5yrs or 10yrs. So it's stressless.
Visa in Malaysia is free and 3 months is automatically given to most countries, but she's talking about residency - how to stay in Malaysia with no visa but as a resident.
@@nutzhazel sorry I should have made it clear, visa is free in Morocco too, and if you do in and out you can automatically renew your visa in Morocco for years and years.... However, if you apply for residency it only costs £10 per application.
I like how you talk, you so clear.
She's been taking lessons.
The visa requirements, for regular people are simply insane difficult to get
And not everybody can work remotely with a laptop 😢
Great video Kindly continue with more details goos luck and God bless
Thank you Saira. I feel your English speed is fine, but i some of the videos that Urdu inserts confused the hell out of me. Just slow down a bit, and stay on the topic, otherwise I love your video, and what you are doing. You are my fav sista...
Maashallah great positive good energy vibes. Uve sold the dream sister lol.
You forgot one more,Digital Nomad Visa(De Rantau) for 2 years stayed
Thanks very much for a such a informative video I'm thinking of moving with family insha Allah

Who has over $100k usd bag just sitting around? The average Joe doesn’t. This is absolutely boggling to me because I am retired and meet the monthly income requirements for a family. I have 3 kids plus their father making it 5 of us, but I certainly don’t have 70,80 or 100k usd cash sitting around or I would have invested in land or property. This makes absolutely no sense to me.
I think your visa information is incorrect. The Malaysia My Second Home Program is not taking applications currently. It has been suspended for some time. Only visa renewals are accepted.
Yes, it’s being improved! Currently on hold
Silver Level is $100,000, if it was $50,000 I was going to move too.
You are better than our tourism minister to promote Malaysia ❤
Goid job sis..we welcome anyone..no problem at all..haha
MASHALLAH
So happy to see you and family and also like to live as a Muslim life style
MAY ALLAH GIVES YOU MORE AND MORE AMEEN

I am also planning to move to UK but your video change my mind
A Big Mac meal costs 16 Ringgit and a KFC snack plate costs 21Ringgit. If you grab coffee at Starbucks it would cost anything from 15 to 25 Ringgit just for the coffee. Good luck trying to live on the numbers she is putting out. I am living in Malaysia currently. Just my electricity bill is 800 Ringgit because we run 2 Aircons at night and 1 for 8 hours a day while working from home.
My family of 3 lives comfortably on 8k Ringgit a month not including rent or mortgage. Our house is fully paid. But I pay property taxes of over 1K Ringgit per year.
for a western person who is a professional this is very low income. business owners and IT professionals make way more than this typically.
@@danielokeeffe9370 we run a biz in Singapore so our income is over 15k USD per month. We also maintain a house in Singapore and are only here like 2 weeks a month. But I am merely commenting on the figures Saira is giving out. She is making it sound liks you can get by on 3k or so Ringgit.
You pay over RM1000 a year in property taxes and think that's bad. I'm in Australia and my property taxes are RM8,0000 or thereabouts annually. Malaysia is dirt cheap compared to Australia. We are being bludgeoned by tax in the west. Those costs I've quoted don't include income tax. CGT, stamp duty and GST.
@@lizzy9975 I think I need to clarify something. This is my second home. We are from Singapore. We run our own biz so we spend sometime in Malaysia, work from home. Our home in Singapore is a condo worth over 2million SGD( about Aussie 2.5million) we pay higher taxes for that one. We also pay very high stamp duty for each additional property we buy in Singapore. Over 20% for the second unit . I am not complaining about property or any tax in Malaysia or Singapore. Malaysia is dirt cheap compared to Australia and Australian property prices are dirt cheap compared to Singapore. Every country is different. My whole point in providing figures is to debunk the misleading picture provided in this video. Malaysia is cheap but it would be hard to live as cheaply as she says it is possible to.
@@lindc1070 Prices and the cost of living are out of control in Australia.
That's what happens I guess when we keep voting in governments that want to tax us into oblivion and give it to the incompetent and lazy.
We have an endless round of the government printing money. Spending it. Unions insisting on ever higher wages and inflation that won't ease. So the cost of housing and food is through the roof.
What happens after the 5 year visa is up? I get it's renewable, but i guess the risk is that the Government could change the requirements like they did i think during covid? Meaning if you can't meet the new requirements you can't renew the visa
Please share details for solicitors you would recommend
