From South Asia to Kuala Lumpur: How Remote Earners Move to Malaysia

From the founder
I've been through this process myself.
I'm Roshintha Perera, and I live in Kuala Lumpur on the DE Rantau Nomad Pass. I applied on a Sri Lankan passport and went through every step you're about to: the documents, proving remote income and the wait for approval. I was approved in two months on my first try, and renewed in two and a half weeks.
NomadsVisa is the desk I wished I'd had. You get help from someone who's done it, not just read about it.

The process
How it works: three steps, and we do the heavy lifting.
Every country's nomad visa has its own thresholds, documents and timelines. We start with the one we know best, Malaysia's DE Rantau Pass, and stay with you through every renewal.
- 01
Check if you qualify
We match your profile, income, and pathway against the official criteria — before you spend a cent.
- 02
We prepare everything
Paperwork is where applications die. We build the file and format every piece to MDEC's standard.
- 03
Get endorsed & land
We lodge it, track it, and stay with you through approval and endorsement to your e-Pass.
Who we help
Who we help: the files that are hard to get right.
A salaried remote worker with clean payslips may only need our $150 document audit. We earn our keep where documents get complicated.
Re-applying after a rejection
There are no appeals any more, so the way back is a stronger new file built around what went wrong.
Freelancers with uneven income
Several clients and lumpy months need contracts, invoices, payments and statements that tell one story.
Families
40% of holders bring family. Every dependant is assessed separately, with their own documents.
Passports that need an eVisa or VDR
Nationalities such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have extra steps between approval and entry.
Remote entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs usually fall under Non-Tech and prove income from their own company. The USD 60,000 lane means proving your role and income from that company, and we build that file.
Renewals, up to four years
Year three needs a Renewal Eligibility Report covering your first two years.
The difference
NomadsVisa vs. applying on your own.
| What you get | NomadsVisa | On your own |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility checked before you pay | often guessed | |
| Documents formatted to MDEC standard | ||
| Sponsorship & personal bond handled | ||
| One point of contact, start to stamp | ||
| File checked before the non-refundable RM 1,080 fee | ||
| Rejection risk from paperwork errors (no appeals) | Low | High |
They told me I qualified before I paid anything, then handled the whole document set. I just showed up and landed.
The bond and sponsorship part terrified me. NomadsVisa made it a non-event. Clear fees, one contact throughout.
Six weeks from eligibility check to e-Pass. Everything was formatted exactly how MDEC wanted it.
