Guardian visa questions - international schools

Hi All

Our plans have been set back with suspension of MM2H program

I am now exploring the option of getting my 3 kids enrolled in international school and getting my wife a guardian visa. I have a HK passport and plan to visit them on a weekly basis from Hong Kong ( where I work) as I don’t need a visit visa ( post corona restrictions)

I have a few questions and really need your help

1. do most I yet national schools sponsor student visa and guardian visa ? Do the school have to sponsor it or they can give a letter and then government issues student & guardian visa ?

2. Can my family live in KL normally with this visa ? Are there any restrictions ?

3. can we hire a domestic helper while being on guardian visa ?this is very crucial for us as we have a helper in HK and my wife would need one in KL too. Any workarounds ?

4. can we buy property in KL in that visa? What is the minimum down payment we have to make ? This is important for me as I was planning to get 80% loan with mm2h. What is the current maximum loan % I can get as foreigner

many thanks for your help here !

Hi All,

I am an MM2H holder and plan to move to KL with mu family. My wife and 3 kids aged 14,9,5 would live in KL while I would work abroad and would fly in every weekend (or every other weekend).

I need your help to please help narrow down my search for Home/Condos that I could consider. I would tell you my budget and requirement below:

1. Size: 250 sdft
2. 4 Bed Room+
3. Condos (duplex better) or townhouse or terrace house or villa
4. In Expat friendly areas
5. security of the development is very important
6. facilities would be appreciated

7. Budget: around 1.5M-2M RM. I can stretch it upto 2.5M but that would impact my monthly budget.
8. Freehold property preferred
9. Landed property preferred
10. New or recent development.

Proximity to schools is important. I prefer IB school and budget is around 50K-60K RM per year per child. I have shortlisted Cempaka International school in damansara heights or Fairview International school ( Subang Jaya or Wanga Maju). I hope these schools will have buses from other areas of city too.

I looked at website and Mont Kiara seems to be expat friendly but its high rise and looks a bit conjested. I liked Bangsar and Damansara Heights areas but not many Landed preoprties in my budget.
How is desa park city area? I really liked KLGCC Alya but it seems to be way out of my budget :-(.
Geo Lake Sunway looks OK but its also not close to city centre. Pavillion Hill Since my wife would be living alone during weekdays with kids so security and prximity to malls, tutions centres, kids stuff is important.

Please help make some recommendation of project that meet most of my criteria. I would really appreciate your help.

thanks a lot!
