I've always read about Sinkies moving to Johor and commuting to work. In theory, it is a good idea. It's similar to how people live in the suburbs (JB) and commute to the city area for work (Singapore). However, in all such examples we are talking about the same country.
Maybe someone could enlighten me, but isn't there visa considerations to this plan? Everyone seems to say just buy property and move in and no questions asked. Shouldn't one need to get Malaysian PR first in order to stay there? Or is there a special visa category for such people?
Also, I am wondering about regulation risks. What happens if the Malaysian govt suddenly decides that in order for non-citizens to live in JB, you need to get Malaysian PR? If I am not mistaken, Malaysian PR is not as easy to get as a Sinkie PR, where the damn PAP give out PRs like toilet paper...
