We are so glad our video was helpful! Malaysia has so much to offer, and is a wonderful country to live. I can imagine you are considering it. Good luck on exploring Malaysia and we hope you will be able to call it home soon. Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Yes it isn't easy to stay long term, and its not only malaysia

Unfortunately, we haven't been there. yet, so no. But if you are considering, then you should definitely go. We heard great stories about this island.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, we are back and now exploring what the options are for Portugal. So you will see more on Portugal soon. Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

Hi, thank you for watching! We are happy to hear that it was useful. Planning to go to Corfu yourself? Enjoy your time there. Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Thank you for watching and leaving a positive comment, appreciate it! Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Hi, thanks for watching our video and leaving a positive comment. It is difficult to say which town you should choose as a base. Do you want to be at the coast, up in the mountains, have access to lots of retaurants etc? Your group has all ages, we assume. So that might make it somewhat complex. We have written a blog post on places to stay in Corfu for every traveler. Have a look at bootsandsandals.com/where-to-stay-in-corfu/ We didn't suggest a base in this post, as we find it really difficult to choose one. But the post does give you an idea of the atmosphere/characteristics of each town. But if we must choose a base...then likely it would be Arillas / Agios Georgios or Paleokastritsa. Other stunning beaches are easily accessed from here, and Corfu town isn't all to far away. Enjoy your time in Corfu....and don't forget to rent a boat for a day. It was the best thing we did! Matt and Monico

Groetjes terug!😊

Thanks for watching and letting us know what you thought! Appreciate it. Matt and Monico

Yes, if you don't have a Malaysian spouse or are not eligible for a working visa then you are likely going to go for a digital nomad or a MM2H visa.

Yes it is. Malaysia seems to only welcome people who are financially well off. Hopefully the requirements will change again soon. Thanks for watching, Matt and Monico

Thank you for watching!

Hi thanks for your comment! It's good you reached out if you are somewhere new. Unfortunately we are not in Malaysia at this moment. There are many facebook groups where people meet up when they are new to Malaysia. It will help you get started with creating a group of friends. Good luck and enjoy Malaysia. Regards, Matt and Monico

@@makethemove101 can you please suggest me some groups where I can find people like me. It would be great help. Thanks in advance..

@@sachinsawant3582 Hi, if you go to Facebook's search bar and type "Malaysia expat," you will find loads of results. I'm not sure if you are looking for Indian expats, but there is a group as well. Good luck! You are sure to find somebody to connect with. Matt and Monico

Hi, thanks for watching our video and commenting. Just wanted to point out that you must invest at least RM 1 million in order to buy a house in Malaysia. It's a big investment and you should be able to carry the loss if the property value or currency decreases. Plus reselling might be tricky as many might not be able to afford it. But in the end, there are many things you have to be careful about but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, right? Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Hi! Thank you for your question. To be very honest, we have no idea. Perhaps you can ask this in a Malaysia expat forum to get a correct answer. Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Hi thanks for watching our video and giving useful tips. Malang, is the city of apples right? Yes, it is an ideal place for those seeking a cooler climate. Thanks for sharing! Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

@@makethemove101​​⁠​⁠ the suggestion is for Magelang in Central Java, not Malang in East Java 😊

@@wolfgangneeser7458 Thanks for pointing that out! Our mistake! We just looked it up. We can imagine it is a great escape from the heat and the crowd. Thanks for the tip!

It all depends, is your spouse a Malaysian? Or have he/she obtained a work permit? Usually you can get a spouse/dependent visa (Long Term Social Visit Pass) if you are married. As long as you don't do business in Malaysia then I think it would be fine. But it is always best to contact the company your spouse will be working for and who are arranging the visa, and ask what your possibilities are. Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

⁠@@makethemove101thank you so much my spouse is Malaysian and he started a new job in a new company so I don’t I’ll be able to go through his company and we’re unfortunately not married right now.

@@kay2koe204, that does make things complicated. The only option I can think of is a tourist single-entry visa and leaving the country every three months. But there is a chance they will not allow you to enter if you do this too many times. If your line of work fits the requirements for the digital nomad visa, you can opt for that.

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

thank you for watching our video and taking the time the let us know it was helpful! Always nice to receive feedback. Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

Thanks again for watching and letting us know you like the video! We already commented on your question in our other video. But we removed the link because we only want to promote online business ideas that we fully stand by. At the end, the one we mentioned in the video wasn't what we hoped so we took it down. Cheers! Matt and Monico

Hi thank for your positive comment. Happy you liked our video. Unfortunately we have stopped with promoting the online business. Like many test and trials, the one we were at that time promoting didn't turn out as we hoped. We took it down, as we only want to share things we fully agree on. If we find something we are very happy about, we will share it asap. Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

That's tricky, somehow international health care seems to be one of the most important to arrange when living abroad. Of course, minor things are fine and a medical check is very cheap in Indonesia. But what if you are in an accident and need to have more then just an operation? Plus what if Indonesia can't provide the health care you need to recover more quickly. For us, health is a pleasant thought. Thanks again for commenting! Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Hi thanks for watching. our video and commenting. Yes, many have mentioned that it is too much. We have set the monthly costs much higher, after our experience living in Indonesia. There are so much costs that we were not aware off when planning our move: visa costs, travel costs, schooling, dentists, holidaying😊 and eating out (not always local warung style). These costs are aimed at long term living, so savings are included too. How much did you need?

Thank you for watching our video and sharing your opinion. Unfortunately there is a reason why many Indonesians who can afford it head to Singapore or Malaysia. For minor things we have experienced Indonesian medical care reasonable, but then we visited private clinics. Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Hi, thank you for your positive comment. We would suggest contacting the US international schools directly (we assume you are interested in the international schools). They will provide you with the best information, as we have so far have no experience or information on this. Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

For long term you would need to get a work permit which a company in Malaysia must arrange for you. An other option is get a spouse visa but then you must be married with a Malaysian citizen.Or you need to meet the financial requirement for a MM2H. These aren't the most straight forward options, but like any other country they are selective who receives a permanent visa. Many thanks for watching our video, have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

Hi, Yes unfortunately we made the mistake and only realised it after uploading the video. Hopefully the rest of the video has been useful! Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Hi, thanks for watching our video! You can extend your nomad visa once more, so in total 2 years. The visa is not meant for permanent residency so therefore you need to leave or change visas once the 2 years has passed. Cheers! Matt and Monico

Hi, thanks again for watching our video! The useful website on international schools is www.international-schools-database.com/ The nomad visa can be extended once for 1 more year. Hope we have been of some help! Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Thank you for watching our video and taking the time to leave a positive comment. Retiring in an other country often involves certain financial requirements, but if you can meet them then often life will be more comfortable. We covered a bit of visa requirements for several asian countries in an other video. Perhaps this will be helpful too ua-cam.com/video/imvVvGWwKko/v-deo.html Wishing you all the best as you explore your retirement options. Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Hi, best is to have a company invite/hire you to come to Jakarta so they will arrange all the permits necessary. Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

I would say around RM40

Thank you for watching and leaving a positive comment. Any plans for a visit to Bali? Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

@@makethemove101 I have been to Bali a number of times and hope to visit again soon. It's a great place with great people.

Yes Bali is a unique place, especially the Balinese.

Hi, thank you for watching our video. To be honest we do not know if you are covered. We did find this: www.medicare.gov/coverage/travel-outside-the-u.s. But it is best to give them a call and explain you exact situation so you know for sure what is covered if you do need medical care abroad. Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

Hi thank you for watching our video and leaving a comment. Indonesians are found everywhere, however in low numbers compared to the Filipinos (except the Netherlands where there are many Indonesians but this is due to the connection from the past). As you mentioned they are often contract workers in Asian countries, rarely in Europe. Not sure why Filipinos are permanent citizens. Maybe they have been working abroad for generations already? Do you have an idea? Perhaps language? Or more socio-econimic? I bet if you dive into it there are many theories. Thanks again for your insight! Enjoy your day, Matt and Monico

@@makethemove101 Indonesian descendants in the Netherlands are not western Indonesians (Malays). But they are descendants of the Moluccans (eastern Indonesians). Where in the colonial era, the Moluccans became loyal Dutch soldiers who helped oppress the natives (the natives called them black colonialists, puppets of the Dutch). They are descendants of rebels who lost the war against the Indonesian government.

because all Indonesian people want to live in Indonesia, they love this country. they came out just to improve the economy. except women who marry because they have to obey their husbands.

That means Filipino can't find work inside their own country

​@@klewank2615I think there's significant numbers of javanese from suriname as well

Thank you for watching our video and leaving a comment. We are happy to hear it was useful! Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

Totally agree, it's a wonderful country. Thanks for commenting! Matt and Monico

Thanks for comment! Have a lovely day, Matt and Monico

@@makethemove101 you're welcome, MeL 👍

Hi, thanks for your comment. You can get a student visa if you have a guarantor who is responsible while you are in Indonesia. I believe you can get a 60 day visa, or a 12 month visa which is extendable depending on how long your program is you are following. I can imagine that universities in Indonesia can provide you which the exact steps and letters needed for your visa application. Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

Hi thanks for watching our video and leaving a comment. Yes, we have had several viewers recommending Johor Bahru. From our experience, it is nicer to live in cities slightly smaller then the major cities....if you know what I mean. So instead of Kuala Lumpur, check out Johor Bahru. We experienced this when living in Jakarta. In stead of Jakarta we enjoyed living in Bogor, a smaller city near by. Thanks again! Matt and Monico

Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a great day Matt and. Monico

Hi thanks for watching and commenting. At the end you can go for a more tighter budget of course. As mentioned, we prefer to aim higher as we have had the experience before that we had to head back home because of lack of finance. We thought things would be much cheaper, but you tend to forget the things you don't have back home such as visa, airplane tickets, (international) school, expat social life (yes, you might think that it doesn't apply to you but you will not have local friends only and expats tend to spend more) etc etc....so yes, it is expensive but you want to live, grow and seek opportunities, also when living abroad. Have a lovely day! Matt and Monico

@@makethemove101 it's all good 😊 thanks for the video

Hi 16000RM would be enough, especially since the company will cover the kids' school. It all depends on where you will be living and how much the rent will be. Additionally, insurance and visas are additional costs that expats need to consider. Is that taken care of by the company too? Generally speaking, the costs would be similar to Indonesia. Again depending on where you are living. We hope you are able to make a decision soon. It's a great opportunity. Have a lovely day, Matt and MOnico
