New members of the Malaysia forum, introduce yourselves here - 2026

Julien

Hi all,

Newbie on the Malaysia forum? Don't know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country,
or to tell us more on your expat projects in Malaysia if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

Hello, from UK and new to this forum but not new to Malaysia, having worked here in the 1990's and got married to a Malaysian in 1999 and been back to visit many times.

Wife has indefinite leave to remain (now called No Time Limit) visa for the UK and has lived there with me for 20 years, with visits back to Malaysia as my work allowed.

Now I am retired, and she is working less, along with aging parents in Malaysia, we are spending more time here (3 months on my MDAC).

I have heard of the Spouse Visa, which would allow me to remain longer without the need to Scoot down from Kuantan to Singapore to do another MDAC for another 3 months stay.

I had tried to apply for this at the regional Immigration office in Kuantan, which was a farce for a variety of reasons, not least the 'provincial' way they have of (not) doing things here in the backwaters so that was unsuccessful.

I am thinking of trying again at the 'proper' Immigration office at Putrajaya in KL, maybe next year when we come back, and I wonder if anyone has specific and recent experience of doing a Spouse Visa (Long Term Social Visit Pass) at that location.
