Welcome Guides
Moving to a new country comes with plenty of questions. ExpatGo’s Welcome Guides are designed to make settling into life in Malaysia easier by providing practical, straightforward information on the subjects that matter most to new and existing residents.
Whether you are planning a move, have recently arrived, or have been living in Malaysia for some time, these guides bring together useful information about everyday life, from visas, housing and healthcare to education, transport, banking, food, shopping and getting to know the country.
Helping You Settle into Malaysia
Our aim is to provide a useful starting point for understanding how things work in Malaysia and where to find the information you need.
The Welcome Guides cover most aspects of life in Malaysia. These individual guides go into greater detail, allowing readers to explore the subjects most relevant to them rather than having to work through one long newcomer guide.

Why Malaysia?
Considering a move to Malaysia? Our article “Why Malaysia” covers the reasons people like (and sometimes find challenging) living here. Our YouTube video covers why expats tell us they enjoy living here, from lifestyle and affordability to food, travel and everyday convenience
The Expat Welcome Guide (printed)
We publish The Expat Welcome Guide, our printed introduction to living in Malaysia. Produced by TEG Media for many years, the publication brings together essential information for newly arrived expatriates, including an introduction to Malaysia, its people and culture, as well as practical advice
on housing, transport, communications, services and everyday life. The printed guide is available to read online
The Expat Education Guide (printed)
We also publish The Expat Education Guide, a dedicated print publication designed to help parents understand Malaysia’s international education landscape. It features information on international schools, curricula, fees, admissions and other practical considerations, together with profiles and contributions from leading education providers. The guide is particularly useful for families relocating to Malaysia or reviewing schooling options for their children, and complements the regularly updated education information available on ExpatGo.
