90 Day Visas For Malaysia

[Stekmer]

Has anyone had any experience of getting repeated 90 day visas on arrival in KLIA or LLCT.

I've been told that it is possible to be given a 90 day visa on arrival and to the leave within 90 days (even for a few days) and then get another 90 visa on re-entry.

I'm thinking of spending the colder months (Australian winter) based in KL and would like to rent an appartment for 3 to 6 months.

Tips on renting an apartment also appreciated - I'll be in KL for a week in mid June 2009 to look around.

Thanks in advance

i think nobody has ever got a "90-days-Visa-on-arrival" at KL, as such thing doesnt exist.

what you get is a simple "Visa-exemption-stamp" in your passport which entitles you to a 90-days-stay.

yes you can leave the country and then come back a few days later and you will get another 90 days - but only if you arrive by AIR ! if coming from Singapore crossing the land border at Johor Bahru, for example, you will usually only get 30 days (though a few days ago when I did exactly this, I was awarded a 90-days-stamp, dont know why).

I know someone living at KL since several years on 90-days-entry-stamps and so far, nobody at the immigration desks questioned him.

though, there is no guarantee of course.

but if you just want to spend a few months there, making use of your 90-days-period and then coming back after a few days out of the country for a second period of 90 days, you should not experience any problems at all.

some immigration points are particularly easygoing and outright welcoming (f.e.: Langkawi), so if you will ever experience problems at any other location, chose them for your next entry
