We will have to start by opening a company on Labuan.
For this, you will have to contact different companies in Malaysia that can take care of this step.
Don’t trust just any company: scams exist all over the world, and Malaysia is no exception.

Once the company is created, you will then have to apply for a visa for yourself.

This LABUAN visa will allow you to reside in Malaysia: you can live anywhere in Malaysia.
You will not be required to reside in Labuan.
The advantages of opening a Labuan company
As far as taxation is concerned, if you respect certain conditions, you can obtain excellent exemptions and pay, for example, only 3% of company taxes.
Among these conditions, you will have to recruit 2 employees in Labuan and realize a minimum amount of annual expenses.
The other advantage over setting up a regular company (SDN BHD for example) is that the minimum capital is RM1.
So you don’t need a lot of capital at all.
Finally, the Labuan visa lasts 2 years and is renewable.
The disadvantages of the LABUAN VISA
You will need to prepare a good file to create and obtain your Labuan visa.
This can seem like a long time if you don’t follow all the formalities to the letter.
You will be asked to provide a number of documents, such as a translation of your diplomas into English, your birth certificate, etc.
If you are married with children, you will also have to pay an additional VISA fee.
You will also need to provide many other documents, such as a translated marriage certificate certified by the embassy, passport photos, birth certificates, etc.
