Yes, my life is changing, and in this video, I share why and discuss moving abroad and more news. 2024 is a period of transition for me as I move away from living in a new country every 30-90 days, to settling down.

Firstly welcome back and glad I got to say this in person yesterday.. lol! Secondly, great idea to document the entire process for applying our Malaysian Digital Nomad Visa as I am sure this would help others who are keen to apply as well. Malaysia could use more digital nomads like yourself here and contributing to our great country.

KL is very strategic place to live or retire. If you get bored with the city, you can just have a short trips to the neighboring countries.

[@remotedarren]

Yes, this is one of the big benefits and even more so since they improved immigration check-in with the e-gates.

I’ve never been able to find a remote job but I have saved and invested for so long I will be easily able to live off my dividends and interest. Wish I could still work though because I’d like to stay busy and earn more money. May e we will cross paths in Malaysia my friend. So many people want to retire in Thailand but I think Malaysia is a better option from my research

[@remotedarren]

@@jaymeez hey great to see you. What kind of remote job are you looking for?

[@jaymeez]

@@remotedarren Anything Really. The problem is I’m not in IT & I don’t have any Certs or Experience. I could dedicate a couple of months to acquiring a couple of Certs but I hate the thought of putting in so much time & effort and there may not even be a job at the end of that.

[@adiman6452]

Yes .What many people do is to live in Kuala Lumpur and go Thailand once a month if need to. Anyway Bangkok is just 2 hours away.Phuket and Krabi within 1 hour

Wow. The lake area looks so much different, the water used to be clear and blue. I used to build a shed by the lake when I was a kid, lived nearby with my late parents on Jalan U'Thant, off Jalan Ampang Hilir, off Jalan Ampang. I wonder if the polo club with horses stable is still around the area near another different lake.

Do you still keep a UK property / address for logistical reasons, such as banking, whilst you travel or live abroad ? Thanks for the videos, I do like your channel.

[@remotedarren]

I have a UK address for tax, residential, medical, and banking purposes. While my tax situation will change if I get the visa, I will still keep the address for banking. If everything is approved, I hope to apply for a Malaysian bank account. I will have to register to pay taxes in Malaysia and sort out our medical side of things with insurance, registering with a doctor, etc. I will talk about all this in upcoming videos.

[@lodersracing]

@@remotedarren Thank you, I would be really interested in watching such a video.

[@lodersracing]

I have a follow up question (maybe you can answer in the video). Does the UK address have to come from owning a property, or is there another way of doing so. So that you could rent out the UK property, and travel / live abroad.

Is Hua Hin worth a visit. We’re thinking of visiting early next year

[@remotedarren]

I feel it depends on what your expectations are and how long you plan to visit for. It’s a very calm relaxing city. Public transport is not the best but it’s super cheap to travel by Grab taxi. I like it because of the coastline and beaches. Fast internet and plenty of places for me to work. If you’re going as a tourist, I feel that 4-5 days would be long enough. It’s not for everyone but I love it. Have a look on my channel as I have done some vids from there.
