Living and Working in Malaysia

The InterNations Expat Guide for working and living in Malaysia

Are you an expat working and living in Malaysia? Or are you preparing to move soon to Kuala Lumpur, George Town or any other of the Malaysian international hotspots?

Expat life in Malaysia has much to offer and provides a great intercultural experience – from discovering the countryside like the topical rainforests (two of which are World Heritage Sites), learning how Malaysian people celebrate Vesak Festival, up to tasting Malaysia’s favorite dishes such as nasi lemak.

Interested in expat life around the world, though? We have additional information on dozens of countries and cities, from living in Dominican Republic to living in Singapore!

Working and living in Malaysia – Valuable Information from A to Z

Moving to and living in Malaysia requires a wealth of up-to-date, trustworthy information on various aspects of Malaysian expat life. Living abroad in Malaysia raises a lot of questions such as: ʺHow do I find the best relocation services for moving to Malaysia?ʺ, ʺWhich national expat associations are there in Kuala Lumpur?ʺ, ʺWhich international school in Kuala Lumpur should our kids attend?ʺ or, ʺHow do I obtain a work permit for my spouse at the Malaysian municipality in Kuantan?ʺ

Collecting all that information on working and living in Malaysia is quite laborious and time-consuming. Our InterNations Expat Guide for Malaysia aims to help you and provides you with reliable info on those topics that matter to expats living in Malaysia. The Guide includes information on many different areas ranging from housing and household, to administration & finance or local organisations and companies, up to culture & sights. Typical questions related to expat life abroad, such as ʺIs it acceptable or frowned upon to eat local food with your hands in a restaurant?ʺ, will no longer remain unanswered.

Of course, InterNations is active far beyond Malaysia. Please feel free to explore our expatriate guide on living in Norway or living in Italy.
