Looking for Irish Expats in Malaysia?

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Irish members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Of course, expat living in Malaysia is not just about shipping your belongings and filing in some bureaucratic papers. Regular socializing with fellow Irish is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Malaysian way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Irish in Malaysia, residing in Kuala Lumpur, Kuantan, George Town and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Irish in Kuala Lumpur or Irish in Penang.

If you ever wish to have a chat in your native language, discover where to shop for Irish food or discuss your favorite sports team's latest match, become a member of the Malaysian InterNations Community:

• Look up our top quality network to get to know open-minded expats from Ireland in Malaysia.
• Obtain and share insider tips in our Malaysia Expat Forums – e.g. how to hire a babysitter fluent in your native tongue for your children or where to get Irish stew in Kuantan.
• Search the InterNations Places database for Malaysia to get information on institutions from your home country, including the Irish embassy.

From the topical rainforests (two of which are World Heritage Sites) to the urban agglomeration of the Klang Valley, we’ll help you connect with supportive and friendly Irish expats in Malaysia.

Moreover, please feel free to attend our regular expat events and activities in Malaysia. Our get-togethers are very diverse and range from a cozy gathering to enjoy the traditional Malaysian nasi lemak, to big expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Kuala Lumpur’s best locations. You can also participate in one of our expat trips to go and see the self-proclaimed world's oldest rainforest as well as other beautiful landmarks in Malaysia.

Our meet-ups and activities are a great opportunity to mingle with expats from Ireland and various other countries in a casual setting. Interested? Just sign up and you’ll soon be receiving a cordial Dia duit from our Irish living in Malaysia!
