What do I need to know before moving to Kuala Lumpur?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Kuala Lumpur, they said...

"Most expats here tend to live in either Bukit Damansara, or if able to afford it - Kenny Hills. These are dominated by larger houses, usually with pools and nice gardens. You will need to consider proximity to the office/schools etc, since traffic here can be diabolical, especially in the rainy season. It is often better to ask among existing expats for house availability. This can be a lot cheaper than using an agent," remarked another expat in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

"Kuala Lumpur is a vibrant and diverse city, and expats should be prepared to experience a unique blend of cultures and lifestyles. It is important to research the cost of living in Kuala Lumpur before moving, as prices can vary significantly depending on the area. Expats should also be aware of the local laws and customs, and familiarize themselves with the local language, Malay. Additionally, expats should consider the availability of healthcare and other services in the area, and make sure to obtain the necessary visas and permits before moving. Finally, expats should take the time to explore the city and get to know the local culture, as this will help them to settle in more easily," said a member in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
