About Living in Malaysia
Who writes these guides, how they are researched and updated, and how to reach us.
Who publishes this site?
Living in Malaysia (vivre-en-malaisie.com) is published by Grégory, a French independent publisher specialised in practical relocation guides. He also runs the sister sites Vivre à Singapour and Vivre au Japon, built with the same editorial standards.
Our editorial method
Every guide is built by cross-checking three types of sources:
- ✔ Official Malaysian sources: Ministry of Tourism (MOTAC), Immigration Department (JIM), National Registration Department (JPN), Ministry of Health (MOH), Bank Negara Malaysia.
- ✔ Dated figures: whenever an amount or threshold is quoted, we state the reference year and the source.
- ✔ Feedback from the expat community in Malaysia, which flags changes on the ground.
Pages are reviewed and updated regularly. If you spot outdated information or a mistake, write to us — we fix things quickly.
Transparency and funding
The site is funded by advertising and affiliate links: some links may earn us a commission, at no extra cost to you and with no influence on our recommendations. Details are in our affiliate disclosure.
Our limits
Our guides are informational: they are not legal, tax or medical advice. For any major decision (visa, tax, healthcare), confirm the current rules with the Malaysian authorities or a licensed professional.
