Looking for New Zealand Expats in Malaysia?

Why expats from New Zealand move abroad (& how they like it)

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 Kiwi members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Tips and Advice on Malaysia from Your Fellow New Zealand Expats

Obviously, expat life in Malaysia goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow New Zealanders is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Malaysian mentality and way of life. New Zealanders in Malaysia are a part of our community, calling cities such as Kuantan, George Town, Kuala Lumpur, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow New Zealanders in Kuala Lumpur, for example.
