Hi, my name is Aileen & my Partner & I are retiring & hoping to make a permanent move from the UK to Langkawi sometime after Feb next year & I'm just wondering if any of you expats on Langkawi can give me any feedback on your moving experiences to Langkawi, i.e. did you move under the MM2H programme or on a 3 monthly visa, did you have any problems shipping possessions out from your native Country? Any info would be much appreciated. Please email me at aileencook@btconnect.com. Many thanks.

Hi,
Most of them move under MM2H, there's no problem shipping possessions in or out from Langkawi. But it will be costly though :)

Hi Bob,
Can't wait to pick your brains! Will be a few years yet before we can make the ultimate move but keen to know what we face when we finally pack our bags. Keen also to hear you've relocated cats! We have two of our own. How are yours coping with the heat? Anne & Simon

Having been here now ,for four months, I would say that we definitely made the right choice in coming here, absolutely love itand wouldn,t dream about living anywhere else !
Did the visa run up to Saturn ( Thailand ).It took just over the hour to get there - nice trip for sixty Ringitt return fare.
Weathers lovely at this time of year !!!!!!!!!
regards

We want to see what is happening about the residential development at Telaga Harbour so that might be a good place to meet. Delighted you are both so happy about the move..
