Congratulations to your family for obtaining approval for long term stay in Malaysia. Welcome to our lovely country Malaysia.
Congrats on the approved visa. Thanks for highlighting the frustrating process. Hope MDEC get to see your video about their shortcomings and improve from there.
I understand the background checks but should stop at causing long waiting time as dependants will be in agony.
This MDEC's digital nomad De Rantau facility is still new. I hope all of the teething issues you mentioned (such as difficulty paying by credit card, information only in Malay, too many choices for occupation...) will be ironed out very soon.
thanks for sharing! Welcome to De Rantau program and hope you guys will have a great time living in Malaysia. Looking forward to your video contents here

Thanks for sharing this process. Ths was very interesting!
Thank you for detailed review because I was stalled what to do after received Approval letter from MDEC.
Congratulations on your approval!
Congrats !
We weren't as lucky in our applications, after 8 weeks and despite fulfilling all the criterias our application was rejected, they did not give us much details too, just that it was "unsuccessful" and asked us for our bank info for the refund
So sorry to hear that.
congratulations....at last ...
You endured it! Well done!
Congrats to you and family!
terbaik ,, Welcome to Malaysia,,,,
Congratulations!!!
Congrats ! cant wait to see u guys !
We'll ping you soon!

Yes! Thank you so much!
LHDN take note. Your UX design needs to be updated.
Congratulations to Ur family
Thank you so much 😊
So it was fairly easy.
Congratulations 👍👍👍👍👍
Congratulations! Really happy for your family! I'm considering the De Rantau Visa for myself. I'm alone with no family/ dependents and wish to move to Malaysia via this visa. What's worrying me is the taxes. Please let me know, is it actually tax free? I'm seeing mixed information on Malaysia's ITA rules. For one year + additional year (after renewed) is it totally tax free?
Hi, thank you for the kind comments :) The tax situation is still unclear. We are hoping to get some clarity on this in the near future. When we do we will do a follow up.
wooooo finally ill do my visa this year
Congratulations.In the first place there shouldn't any issue ...the whole world was created for all human beings regardless of where we are from..luv u and fammily.
Congrads!

Hi dear Kensho family, we have been following you Malaysia journey all the way since the beginning and was wondering why aren't you posting any content about Malaysia considering how hard you've worked to get the De Rantau visa. You've mentioned in this video about an upcoming house tour but then you've posted exclusively Japan content. What caused the change of heart and the complete cut off immediately after you've got the visa? Thanks
Hi. We do still plan to post some Malaysia content for digital nomads once we get a chance. We’ve just been super busy. We ended up settling in the Johor area (after ruling out KL and Penang). We haven’t even had time to go out and explore, just working working.
Selamat datang.....
Congrats ....
Congratulations
Wondering why more and more Americans are urging to live in Malaysia now? Glad to hear if you can share it.
Perhaps it is the cost of medical care and waiting time in usa. Medical tourism is one of the best in the world here. Also only 3 countries in asia score well for English as 2nd language. They are Singapore, Philippines and Malaysia. While Singapore is an expensive city state, Malaysia is more developed than Philippines. But one thing I hope our gov can expedite...5G coverage.
Thanks for chiming in!
Sorry for the late reply, we answered a similar question so we thought we answered this one!
Here are a couple of videos we made that are very relevant, especially for families wanting to live in Asia:
ua-cam.com/video/ZB80lSW8ALM/v-deo.html
Here is another one about why we love Malaysia: ua-cam.com/video/uH3bsbXE4CM/v-deo.html
Let us know if you have more questions!
Yes, in most other Asian countries one would have to deal with language issues. This is not significant in Malaysia (Malaya+Sarawak+Sabah), Singapore, and the Philippines. Learning the local lingo is,of course a big benefit, but sometimes the locals have so many languages that English is the Lingua Franca by default.
Malaysia is quite modern and the government pushes digitalisation, even more so than the US where it was mainly a privatised initiative. The same with medical care...it's a hybrid of socialised government hospitals mainly used by poor or middle class citiz NS (technically foreigners are supposed to pay a small co-pay) and private hospitals and clinics. There a plenty of those with short wait times and fairly high level doctors and technicians trained abroad. Even the private clinics are between 80-50% cheaper than in the US. But Medicare doesn't work abroad...only on the US and it's territories. Some, like myself have dropped paying the monthly Plan B premium of 150/month, copays and dealing with deductibles and just do the over the counter in the foreign country. Even with Medicare you'll pay maybe UD$10K for hip surgery in the US (not counting premiums). In Malaysia about $6000. The Medicate program covers maybe $50,000. The government and the Medicate program ( and senior patient )would be better off subsidizing a trip abroad for treatment and covering the he cost of a foreign treatment. One way to solve the Medicare deficit!!!
Congrats on getting the visa for your family! I also got approved. One thing I'm struggling on is filling in the tax form to get my registration slip. Some of the questions are super confusing. Did you get any external guidance on this? MDEC just tell you to contact inland revenue but I could never get through to anyone.
Hi, it is very confusing and unfortunately, we do not have any guidance for you has everyone's situation is different and it has been a long time since we completed this process. We also kept on contacting the tax dept until they responded. Best is to call them vs email. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck!!
Appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question :)
Thankfully I was able to go to one of tax offices and they gave me a written form to fill out which was soooo much easier than the online form!
Thanks for the video and congrats. So, between the time you submitted all the documents to approval was how long roughly?
About 4.5 months
@@KenshoQuest oh that's very long compared to the 6-8 weeks they claim on their website
Congrat🎉
Happy to hear for your family.
I applied to DeRantau program and made the payment, I got the payment invoice from MDEC by email but my application is still in draft, I tried to resubmit the application again but it ask me to pay again, I have tried multiple emails to expat and CLIC but so far no positive response and a month have passed. what should I do?
I would call MDEC directly.
@@KenshoQuest I have multiple times and they always reply with the same response to wait and it has been a month now
Thank you so much for the videos, and congratulations!
I wanted to ask about the visa, did you apply from Thailand as you mentioned before? I am wondering because I do have to get out from Malaysia and get the visa and go back there, I am thinking maybe of going to Singapore but not sure if I can receive the visa there or not as I will be just a tourist there.
HI, yes we completed the application from Thailand since you need to leave before you can actually get the visa. Singapore shouldn' be an issue.
@@KenshoQuest Thanks for the answer, when you submit the application, did the status change to something like pending before changing to approved or does it stay as "Submitted"?
Malaysia loves you
Congratulations guys. Is it worth it to go through all those bureaucracy obstacles for a one year stay in Malaysia? Many other countries offer easier access, whats so special about Malaysia?
I admit what you say it is true
Hi and thank you! This is a great question and I think it deserves an entire video just on this one question. So let us know if you are interested in that! But it really depends on your needs. For us, we are looking for a safe family friendly location. Here is an episode we made comparing Saigon > Bangkok > KL. It's still very relevant and explains a lot: ua-cam.com/video/ZB80lSW8ALM/v-deo.html
Here is another one about why we love Malaysia: ua-cam.com/video/uH3bsbXE4CM/v-deo.html
Congrats. You heading back to JB or want to try new area? All things being equal I will in the near future be spending bulk of my time for cpl years darting btw KL, JB and Kuching so don't be surprised if I walk up to you in a restaurant to say hi. :-).
I’m hoping to try a new area. Maybe… See you there
Hey Congratulations to you and your family on your approval. We are applying too and your videos has been so helpful really, can you clear that where we can do our tax registration, thankyouu.
Hi, you will get an email with instructions and a link to the page where you will register.
@@KenshoQuest ohh thank you so much
Congrats guys! I have a question, can I apply for nationality or PRship after being there for 12 months or extending the visa for 2 or 3 years?
As far as I know, De Rantau is not a path towards permanent residency. It can be extended once, for an additional 12 months. 🌺 Heidi
@@KenshoQuest Thanks so much!
Congratulations and Thank you for the information Q: Is your entry date determined by you or otherwise?
Once approved we had 6 months to enter Malaysia on the Digital Nomad Visa. 🌺 Heidi
Congratulations^^! May I know how you can get your family members to go there together with you? Do you need to apply for a “Dependant Pass” or something, during the Digital Nomad Visa application? Thanks!
Thanks! Yes, wife and children were included as dependents on the application.
