After living in both Malaysia and Turkey (Türkiye) for one year, we thought we should share what it's like living in these two spectacular countries. We'll compare the similarities, the differences, the pros, and the cons for living in both Malaysia and Turkey to help you decide which you would prefer. We think both Malaysia and Turkey are fabulous places to live, retire, or become an expat. But which would you prefer, Turkey or Malaysia?
𝗜𝗠𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 (𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝟭𝟱, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯)
New requirements for MM2H (the federal program) have just been announced:

Turkey has also changed it's immigration rules and now requires the purchase of a property valued at US$200,000 or higher to receive a resident permit.

im a Malaysian student in Turkey, staying more than 4 years. unfortunately things i heard before i come to Turkey were beautiful but once i live here they are the opposite not all of them are beautiful. i got treated badly by the system (university, immigration, etc.), suffer severe racism and many more that i ended up got anxiety and depression (had to take medicine + met psychiatric and psychologist). i came with a big smile and im leaving for good in few weeks with a sorrow face. but in my few weeks remaining time i plan to travel around Turkey for my last time, hope i'll find something that could make me smile again and feel like the first time i landed here :)

I'm Malaysian had lived in the UK for about 5 yrs and been to several Western Europe countries and Turkiye once. All I can say is your categorical comments on both countries are fair and I have no reason to think otherwise. As per the question posed on this video I have this opinion: Except for the five daily adzan from many mosques Turkiye is very much similar to other European countries in terms of history, climate, architecture and landscapes, on the other hand Malaysia is very much Asian in those terms, so the slogan "Malaysia is truly Asian." Being a predominantly Muslim country, Malaysia also has the same five daily adzan as Turkiye. So, since the cost of living in the two countries are comparable, for people from four season countries the questions are boiled down to just one, i.e., if you want to experience living in tropical country Malaysia is the obvious choice while Turkiye gives you the experience of living in moderate Muslim country with European atmosphere.

@snailtravelers Год назад

Yes, I agree with everything you said in your comment. Turkey has a more Middle East & European vibe, while Malaysia has the Asian atmosphere. Thanks for watching our video!

@a..7773 Год назад

I have been to Malaysia 9 times. To Turkey only once. I do speak Turkish pretty well to get around. I think that Turkey feels more solid overall with generally better quality infrastructure. At the same time, Malaysia has much better food. People are extremely nice in both countries. I’m considering doing the same thing as you. I want to spend at least 6 months in both countries at some point. Driving in Turkey is not that scary. I have driven few thousand kilometers in Turkey. Not too different from the United States. I was planning on going to Turkey again in 2023. But I changed my mind and going to Malaysia for the 10th time. Malaysia is just more fun!

As a Malaysian who has been to Turkey a few times I totally agree with your assessment. However I also have to admit there is a category not mentioned by you where Turkey wins hands down: historical places. Turkey has a depth and breadth of historical buildings and places from antiquity, through Greek and Roman, right to medieval and recent times - prehistoric, pagan, Christian and Muslim.

Malaysia wins hands down. Vegetarians and vegans will be hard pressed to find a vegetarian restaurant in Turkey, whereas in Malaysia they can be found everywhere. Almost everyone speaks English in Malaysia; not so in Turkey. Shopping is a pleasure in Malaysia with its ultra modern malls. Malaysia is a food paradise; visitors come from all over the world just to sample its cuisine. Turkey’s food is just meat, meat and more meat. The climate in Malaysia is not much of a problem, as most buildings and public transport are fully air conditioned. What more do you want ? Visit Malaysia- you will fall in love with it.😊

I am Malaysian. Turkiye is a great place to visit for Westerners and Easterners alike. People here are very kind hearted, love children and are very respectful to their elders. I brought my aged parents on holiday and the people were so helpful and deferential to my parents especially since they do not walk so well. Istanbul has great infrastructure and is easy to get around. The food is excellent!

U guys probably know this, some basic items incl food n services have increased in prices after d pandemic n lockdown, not so much but noticeable.

@Yasin_Affandi Год назад

U guys focused on d basics of living, that's what's life is all about. But, it would be interesting to compare d amount of tourist attractions in d country. Every country has its own vibes, charm n beauty. Malaysia has its past, present n future, but i think d past history n civilization in Turkey is far more interesting.

Great video! We've been staying in Turkey for 3 years and now consider Malaysia as the next stop. The immigration policy in Turkey has become much stricter over the past two years and the economy hasn't been doing well either - costs for accommodation jumped 3-4 times in popular cities like Istanbul and Antalya so I guess right now Turkey might be significantly more expensive than Malaysia depending on the city. Still, we love Turkey a lot and are very grateful for its hospitality, great people and amazing places.

@snailtravelers Год назад

Thanks, and we completely agree with everything you said in your comment. Inflation in Turkey is horrible, and it can be difficult to watch how it is impacting the Turkish people. And, like you said, the weak economy and the fact that the immigration rules keep getting stricter has us wondering if we'll be forced to leave at some point in the future. We just renewed our permit for two years, so we know we're good to stay for at least the immediate future. Where have you lived in Turkey? Thanks for watching, and good luck with your transition. We have more videos about living in Malaysia on our channel page if you're interested.

@vitalyshemetovets7920 Год назад

@@snailtravelers Wow, congrats on the 2 years living permit renewal! Our 2-year permit expires in October and we're at the crossroad of what to do next: try our luck and apply for renewal or move to Malaysia 🙂 We've been staying in Antalya all this time - love this city for its comfort. Living permits are somewhat of a lottery here though, ha-ha 😄But we also traveled a lot to other parts of Turkey, like Mardin, Ankara, Konya and Istanbul. So yeah, will see :) Love your videos guys, already checked your travels in Malaysia and other countries - keep it up! 👍

@@snailtravelerssorry sir I'm really curious if we live in Turkey if we have to speak Turkish ? And is inflation and the economy of turkey still bad right now? I'm indonesian living in KL I plan to move to Istanbul because I got a job offer there, But I'm still confused because I love living in here. Thanks you sir

@snailtravelers 8 месяцев назад

@@AlfariziZakaria Hello. Most Turkish people do not speak or understand any other languages, only Turkish, so it is good to learn some of the language. The situation with inflation has improved but it is still very high, I would guess 40%-50% but that is just a guess Thank you for watching!

@amein73 Год назад

local fruits in malaysia are way cheaper (westerners always refer to apples and grapes when talking about fruits, as if there are no other kinds).. when u talk about imported ones ofc 'lah' more expensive in Malaysia. I bet, there are no rambutan, durian, langsat, or manggis in turkey.

@stardust2045 Год назад

Malaysia is better than Turkey in almost every regards except weather and history. Weather can be a deal breaker for many because it can get extremely hot here. But the development progress in Malaysia is insane especially with the low living cost. If you were to wedge your bet on which country is a better investment,hands down is Malaysia.
