Please find my answer

1. What are the approximate costs of accommodation per month, for 1 bedroom apartment/condominium with kitchen in the city center or 15 minutes from the petronas towers.? Can i find something simple for abouve 1.500MYR?
- This will depend on your luck. But normally it will cost at least 2k near that area.


2. What are the costs associated with the working visa? im planning to bring my gf there as soon as possible, so I'd like to ask can she get 3 months visa in the airport? and then extend for next 3 months? and is that around 13k MYR salary including benefits its enough for 2 young people in KL?
- There will be no extension of social visit in Malaysia. But you can always re-enter Malaysia (go to singapore or Thailand).
If 13K is just a base salary, then it should be more than enough.



I would advice you to request HR related info (salary, allowance etc) from your employee since this matter depends on company policy.

thank you very much for your replay. i would like to ask you do you know how about visa for my gf? she is filipino citizen, and i think she will get entry visa only for one month yes? is that correct? i understand that if she want to stay longer, she has to go to singapour every month and extend the visa for next one month yes? if there is other solution that she can stay longer? we are not married so there is no official connections between us, but i quessits not help if i have resident visa? is it possibly to apply in philippines in the malaysian embassy for  3 month visa?

how far is btw to singapur and how much it cost to go there and back, there are some extra fees for re-entry malaysia?

i dont know what to do... how can i arrange her stay in malaysia. i understand that she can stay in malaysia if she will find a work and get a work permit visa, but going every month to singapour i dont know if its good idea? how far is it? please advise

im so confused, and im going to kl for 3 weeks..

thank you
pablo

To answer your question:

only for one month yes? is that correct?
Yes

i understand that if she want to stay longer, she has to go to singapour every month and extend the visa for next one month yes?
Yes

if there is other solution that she can stay longer?
Unfortunately no unless she has valid visa (work, school, dependency, etc)

we are not married so there is no official connections between us, but i quessits not help if i have resident visa?
No.

is it possibly to apply in philippines in the malaysian embassy for  3 month visa?
No

how far is btw to singapur and how much it cost to go there and back, there are some extra fees for re-entry malaysia?
Entering Malaysia is free. From KL, to singapore, it is about 4 - 5 hours by road or 45 min by flight.
