What do I need to know before retiring in Kuala Lumpur?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Kuala Lumpur, they said...
"Before retiring in Kuala Lumpur, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs. It is important to research the cost of living in the city, as well as the availability of healthcare and other services. Expats should also consider the climate and the type of accommodation they will need. Additionally, expats should research the visa requirements for long-term stays in Malaysia. Finally, expats should make sure to obtain the necessary insurance coverage for their stay in Kuala Lumpur," said a member in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
