      It really depends on what u are as a person. If you are not so much of a party person, Malaysia is better. And please get rid of this underrated mentality. People who want to remain underrated will never get to achieve their full potential and countries who want to remain underrated will forever be stuck in the middle income category. Always push for more & always go global. Underrated means boring, underrated means complacent. Stop having this "underrated" mentality or else Malaysia will never become a developed country.

      @@secrets.295 rating is just a perception. It is not that we don't want to get prosperous... Let others see us as unfavourable to their perception while we enjoy the best. Take China for example, so much negative news and perceived unfavourably.. they don't care... They strive for success and prosperity. today the whole wide world knows what China really is....

    Most people considering both cannot afford the visa requirements for Malaysia. MM2H visa costs about $150,000 USD + you Must buy property worth $$130,000 USD. You cannot go to Malaysia if you only have $280,000 USD in retirement savings due to the visa requirements. Just so people understand...

    • @BiesingerFIREJourney
      @BiesingerFIREJourney  3 месяца назад

      Thanks for pointing this out. :) Other videos on my channel go into more detail on the MM2H too. From I saw, latest updates show property purchase minimums are now 600,000 MYR for Silver, 1 Million MYR for Gold, and 2 million for Platinum MYR.

    Thailand is not the place to retire anymore. Great to visit or live and work there, but not for retirees. Starting 1 Jan 2024 Thailand now taxes the income of retired Expats (including Pensions), if you live in Thailand 180 days or more in a year, while all the other countries in SEAsia do not. Hopefully Thailand will change their mind, but as it is now, starting on Jan 2025 Expats have been told to pay income taxes on the money they brought to Thailand from 1 Jan 2024 onwards. Thailand also wants to implement worldwide taxation, so even if you dont remit the money to Thailand they want to tax it . No matter how good their Visas are or the country is - for retired Expats Thailand is not the best option (we are leaving).
