Retirement Abroad

Want to retire abroad?
For many expats, retiring abroad can be a natural continuation of the life they've already built. Whether you're considering staying in Asia Pacific or making a move to another part of the world, retiring internationally can offer a compelling combination of lifestyle, climate, cost of living, and community.
However, retiring abroad does require you navigate a set of financial, legal, visa, and healthcare considerations, which we know can feel overwhelming.

Retiring in a different country adds a layer of complexity to estate planning.

Malaysia is an increasingly popular destination for expat retirees, offering a tropical climate, a relatively low cost of living, and a well-established international community, particularly compared with Europe, Australia or the US.
To retire in Malaysia long-term, you will need a suitable long-stay visa. Malaysia offers two government-backed residency programmes designed for this purpose: the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme and the Premium Visa Programme (PVIP). Each has its own eligibility criteria, financial requirements, and application process, so choosing the right route depends on your individual circumstances.
Watch our webinar below, where we walk through the key considerations for relocating and retiring in Malaysia, including a detailed look at MM2H and PVIP.
