We don't use RUPIAH as our currency in Malaysia, supposely RINGGIT is the correct name for Malaysia currency. Don't confuse with Indonesia currency. Anyway welcome to Malaysia.😍

As a digital nomad, you forgot to mentioned about Digital Nomad visa that is available in Malaysia. The visa will allow you to stay up 1 year and extendable for another year. Being in the centre of South East Asia, the visa is perfect for Digital Nomad who wish to make malaysia as a base and travel cheaply to various countries in the region within hours.

great video but unfortunately none of you bloggers mention how it behaves for tax purposes, what insurance do you need, can you cancel your health insurance and only travel insurance abroad is enough. if. you work remotely abroad but are still employed in your home country or something similar :)

Жыл бұрын
If you are still employed you have to see with your employer and the contract you have with them. This is very personal and I don’t have tax knowledge to cover this topic. I focus on the travel side of being a digital nomads :) About insurance, travel insurance covers you but, in case something happen and you need to be sent back to your country for further treatments, then you must be insured in in your country as well (or have a worldwide health insurance).
Does this visa program offer temporary Residence permit or anything similar like that ?

Soo right!!
I am from Singapore and have many friends and relatives in Malaysia including KL. My comments are always nasty towards other South East Asian nations but always good to Malaysia. To me, it is a fact and this is a platform for a free expression. Let me start. If you are looking for wine, women, cannabis, young Thai brides and hot night clubs, Thailand will be the place for you. If you are a very old dude looking for a very young bride, the Philippines will be the place for you. The Nomad Capitalist founder Mr Andrew Henderson could never be wrong about Malaysia being the place with the best value for money especially for those who are on the upper middle class. The rich people such as Jim Rogers would choose to hide their undeclared money in Singapore in order to avoid taxes and for an upper middle class like me, Malaysia is the best country to retire or to live occasionally. What I like about Singapore is the high salary but what I don't like about Singapore is the highest cost in the world to own a car and it is impossible to own a sports car but Malaysia has made my dream come true. I like to own a Mitsubishi Evolution sports car worth (RM315,000 or USD70,000) in Malaysia and the Malaysian petrol Ron95 is the cheapest in SEA around RM2.02 or USD 0.44 per litre. I love the 3 highlands in Malaysia which are Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands and Fraser's Hill which have the best tracks for a sports car. I love to shift gears going up fast to the highlands and enjoy the fresh air, thick fog in the morning and the amazing chilling temperature of 16 deg Celsius. I am inspired by Jackie Chan's movies Thunderbolt and Who Am I on how Jackie managed to shift gears pretty fast in the Mitsubishi sports car and also inspired by Justin Lin's Fast and Furious movies. I love the unique tall skyscrapers of KL and the Petronas Twin towers to me is the most beautiful tower in the world and I like to dine in a restaurant overlooking the twin towers everyday or every week. The Merdeka 118 and TRX are also on my list being so gorgeous and modern looking buildings. Also KL has many car accessory shops which offer competitive prices and the owners of these shops are Chinese Malaysians who can speak good English, good Mandarin, good Cantonese and good Malay. For me undoubtedly, KL is the heaven on earth and the best place to drive my sports car and to park my car in the KLCC area and this is the luxury for the upper middle class and so far all youtubers are saying about the cheapest stuff to do in KL and the cheapest way to travel by the metro train but none on the luxury.
