Hi there,
My girlfriend has a 9 month work contract in Kuala Lumpur and I am planning to join her for the majority of her stay.
Originally, I had planned to do two visa runs in total, as I already have to return to the UK for two weeks after 80 days in Malaysia. However, reading this blog and other supporting documents has got me feeling a tad nervous about the viability of this.
I wasn't planning on doing visa runs of a single day of a few days to neighbouring countires, I was planning two to three week trips to Japan, South Korea, etc. Does this change my re-entry at all?
I will be working freelance for British companies so will be unable to apply for a work visa in Malaysia.
What options are available for me? Is two visa runs of the type I described viable? I don't mind moving to surrounding countries for a few weeks at a time but I want to be with my girlfriend for the majority of her stay.
I will also have a semi-permanent address in Kuala Lumpur and return flights all booked up.
Thanks
