Retiring abroad is one of the biggest decisions you'll make, and you don't have to figure it all out on your own. We get asked the same questions constantly by people planning this exact move, so we've put the answers in one place: what it actually costs, which city fits your lifestyle, which visa makes sense for you.

The Expats Club:
Who are we?

We are an essential community for expats to join when they arrive in Malaysia, created by an Expat. The community was founded by Joshua (British) and Rachel (Malaysian), to be an active community resource for those who choose to call Malaysia their new home. Our social media presence helps thousands of Expats on a daily basis navigate through expats life and the vast amount of events we organise across Malaysia, there is really something for everybody.
