Moving from San Francisco to Kuala Lumpur: An Update

Amazing - we are in the process of doing the same over the next 6-9 months leaving the UK. Wishing you a smooth transition.

[@Huanga1]

@@Kaitrader that's great! You too. Good luck!

[@mrwinsontoh]

I grew up in KL and have called SF home for the past 17 years. With family and friends in both places, I feel equally connected to both cities. I’m fluent in English, Mandarin, Malay, Hokkien, and Cantonese-just like the locals. If you ever need tips for settling down in KL, let me know. Welcome to KL!

@@keangwooichoo6138 Happy to be the ambassador for both places. Malaysia’s unique mix of cultures-it really is a little bit of everything! There’s no place quite like it.

[@mrwinsontoh]

@@Huanga1 I do plan to relocate back. KL is a fantastic place for digital nomads and retirees. You can enjoy a luxurious lifestyle with a reasonable income-it’s hard to beat that balance!

[@Huanga1]

@ yes absolutely. I think my friends here are starting to get the big picture. You don't need to live in the US to have a great life.

I just moved to Malaysia from Seattle two months ago via the Digital Nomad Visa. It wasn't as easy as I expected at all. The whole process was bumpy as most people have no idea how to navigate it, the government agencies are difficult to deal with. Even after I landed, it has been challenging just trying to open a local bank account to pay for things. You can ping me, I would be happy to talk to you about the entire process.

[@Huanga1]

@@sannn7034 no we have not decided yet. We toured Mont Kiara but I feel like it's a bit suburban. We plan on trying a couple of places before signing a lease. We also have 2 young children, 3 and 1. Are yours in school already? We'll need to find a daycare for ours
