Were your qualifications well over the financial minimum? If not, you may have run into a defacto decision to raise the qualifications.
Thanks for that Synthia, yes I was well within the financial target set in the MM2H rules and as far I'm aware, all my papers were in order.
I've also heard about the case of having to close their business, this doesn't bode well for other retirees thinking of moving to Malaysia, shame really, it's such a beautiful country.
