MIGRATING TO ITALY - Your Journey Of Thousands Miles - Basic Info

Deciding to move to other country is probably one of the biggest decision that you will ever make in your life. When we decided to leave Malaysia and moving to Rome, Italy.. we know that there will be some hard work to be done not for him as it's like going back to his hometown or as Malaysian said 'balik kampung', as for me there is a whole new world, and whole new set of problems coming with that. As we didn't really take time to make the decision to leave Kuala Lumpur permanently it was a havoc to say the least to get everything done.

Kuala Lumpur City at night (without the regular haze of course)
We managed to get the last boxes of our belongings post out 2 days before departing. We decided to use Post Malaysia International Air service as we do not have any furniture and it is the most convenient for us regarding price and weight of our belongings. The Pos Laju office at Jalan Tun Sambathan near KL Sentral is great with their service and as it located just beside the main street, it is most convenient to carry boxes to the service counter.

As a Malaysian passport holder, you an entitled for a 3 months tourist visa upon arrival. Please check with your embassy what is your country visa term if you holding different passport. Most important thing to remember
  • Upon checking in for your flight for departure, you will be asked to show your return ticket to the airline counter staff. They obliged to do so to make sure you are intending to leaving Italy / European country before your 3 months expired. You might be rejected for check in if you failed to do so. Couple of friends of ours learned the hard way and have to buy ticket there on the spot.
  • Please beware of your luggage allowances. Most airlines charge a hefty sums for extra kilos.
  • Plan your next steps for processing all the legal documents needed. This will help a lot in saving your time and minimizing headache.

Last but not least, It is always good to know where your embassy located. In Rome Italy Malaysian embassy is located HERE.

Live. Love. Laughter
