On the other hand, should you decide to pursue the route in MM2H further, feel free to contact me I am General Manager of Aubella (MM2H) Sdn. Bhd.
The requirement for deposit of MYR150,000 is a must, but the requirement for MYR 350,000 as a financial proof for the application can be adjusted lower on a case by case basis.

Hi aubella [beautiful gold???]
Thanks [sort of] for the update. No longer is Malaysia that great for retirees. It sure makes no sense for us to have to keep on deposit MYR 100,000 after the first year. Instead of making it easier and friendlier for retirees they seem more interested in our money. If we were working it wouldn't be so bad but when you are retired you have no idea if/when you will need your money and at that point you have two choices - leave Malaysia [or at least dump the MM2H visa] or have enough money where you can help subsidize the Malaysian banks. I have no interest in the latter - they have more money than I do and the thought of needing to give up my home to get my money - then what? Camp out in Mexico? Not a good more. I'll go to Malaysia but I'll sure not get an MM2H visa and if/when they don't want me around - I'm gone. No buying of real estate and then try to juggle moving a "new" homeland while also trying to get my money back from the government AND try to sell an home. Not going to happen. I"ll arrive with a suitcase or two and I'll leave with a suitcase or two. Too bad too, as it IS a great country but evidently the geniuses who came up with this nonsense are the same geniuses that allow taxi's to go "off meter" at night so they can rip us off. A pox on both their houses! Thanks for the heads-up!
