Hey! My name is Lorenzo and I'm arriving in KL on Wednesday the 31st, and Ill be around for at least a month. Eager to grab coffee or a meal with whomever is around! I'm an American doing some travelling after working in the Emirates as a SWE at an SWF for a few years

How’s life in KL?

I hear online that Bangsar South and Mont Kiara are worth looking at first, with the latter being more expat-dense. The place i got in Bangar South seems more than adequately equipped

I get there on January 17th and happy to meet. I can share a Nomads WhatsApp group if you would like.

Anyone going to Kyo Club tonight for the NYE party?

I look forward to meeting! Lets set a time once youre in town.

Ill take an invite to the WA group you mentioned

Just arrived in KL. Staying here for 2 weeks. If anyone wants to meet. Let me know 🙏.

Also looking for a nice coworking space. Any recommendations? Thinking of going to Infinity8 MyTown tomorrow.

Where is best place to stay in kuala lumpur ( hotel or condominium) for digital nomad

Does anyone know a visa agent for Malaysia? The immigration is so inefficient, I need to get my visa in 2 days, applied over 2 weeks ago, thinking it would be enough time but guess not.

My brother recently applied via an agent (via employer) for Employment Pass but ~3 weeks and still waiting

Yeah the thing is they state 2-7 days processing time but that's obviously not the case, so I wanted to see if I can pay some visa agent extra and get it processed faster

This is not as weird as it sounds in SEA.

For example, in Vietnam somehow the official tourist visa channel is slower, you can find people who promise to fast track it for you on Upwork: I thought this has got to be a scam. Sure enough, INSTANT approval haha. The whole world just doesn’t work the way us strict westerners expect it to.

Let me know if you get a good contact in Malaysia!

Yeah, has that situation happen to me last year. That's why I'm looking for someone to pay to get these papers sorted out quickly 🤣

Does grass a problem in Penang/Langkawi?

Hi guys, anyone thinking about visiting the Network School in Johor?

I'm gonna be there next month

Hi. I looking for professional cleaning service in da nang. I need people to clean aparteme next to da nang beach

Moving to Kuala Lumpur soon, is staying near Lalaport a good idea

I liked it, stayed at Robertson Towers. The only downside was that it wasn’t very walkable, in a sense that you’ll need to take some long detours to cross the highway, walk around large police station, abandoned construction projects etc. But I got an impression that it’s true for most of KL. I’ll be back to KL in April, and plan to stay either at the same place, or Brickfields (little India - I liked restaurants there, and it seemed better for public transit).

Yeah I’m at Robertson now, found out today how walkable it is hahaha

I’ll probably move closer to the lalaport mall

You know about the shortcut through the parking lot at least? Saves a few minutes if you want to get to Lalaport.

Hey nomads, what is the best bus from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur? Thank you 🫶

Anyone in Johor?

What is your favorite part of KL? I renred nice condominum for less than 1000 thb per day. Rooftop swiming pool with sauan

I’m leaving in a week :/ going to Vietnam, I’m running https://calendesk.com/

Hey y'all, just landed in KL with my wife and super keen to meet people :)

I'm staying in Brickfields, but know nothing of the city yet, so happy to go on a discovery tour if anyone else feels like

Oh Brickfields! is an Indian Area, i suggest you to visit Bamboo hills KL. You will enjoy the place there. Unfortunately im not there but if you need any information let me know

Thanks my friend! Yeah, I chose this area so that I would have access to all the authentic Indian food for super cheap!

My pleasure. Its a nice central area close to everything, food is cheap everywhere. Just dont eat at Jalan Alor and dont ask me why

Hi there! Need urgent help! A friend is stuck at the immigration at the KL airport. Looking for a visa agent to help her out, does anyone know any please?

Is it difficult to get 1 year remote work visa in Malaysia KL ?

Yes

Hello everyone, Apa khabar? I'm Susan, a remote worker, a local Malaysian, who loves mixing work, travel, culture, and real conversations with real people.

From 9 to 18 May 2026, I'm gathering a small group of 6 to 8 remote work professionals for 10 days of coworking and coliving on Penang Island.

We'll be based in a serene seaside villa in Batu Ferringhi. Every room faces the Andaman Sea 🌊 and has a private bathroom. Coworking happens around a big shared table, out on the terrace, or in your own quiet corner when you need to go heads-down.

Outside work hours, we explore. George Town's heritage streets and street art. Temples and clan jetties. The cool air up on Penang Hill. The slow rural pace of Balik Pulau. Evening hawker stalls where the food genuinely does all the talking.

If this sounds like your kind of pace, please message me. Happy to share details or hop on a quick call to see if we're a good fit for each other 🌤️.

hey everyone. Can I have a night life recommendation for KL. Looking for chill music and good skyline view.
