Your Guide to Moving From Malaysia to India
Historically speaking, ancient India held sway over Southeast Asia via trade, religious missions and military campaigns, whereby more people emigrated from India to Malaysia as a matter of course via the expansion of the empire. However, these days, the economic opportunities offered in modern India are enticing more and more Malaysians to move there in search of job prospects. International relocations involve a large amount of preparation and planning, therefore, hiring a professional international mover can pay off in the long-term.
Depending on what part of India you are moving to, there are many cultural differences within the country, which can seem quite dramatic to newcomers and can slow the adaptation process. The process of moving can be made more prohibitive due to these cultural differences if you don’t know what to expect. You may have to overcome language barriers, not to mention a host of technical issues. Your international mover will need to have teams on the ground, who can help you with translation issues and logistics.

Finding the right home
Most people moving to India from Malaysia will do so for economic reasons. The growth of electronic manufacturing services (EMS) is drawing employees from across Southeast Asia. Luckily for Malaysians, especially those of Indian descent, this growth is focused around Chennai. There is a recognised EMS Corridor, which stretches across Tamil Nadu to the south-west of Chennai. Relocating here will present less obstacles in terms of language, religion and culture for Malaysians of Tamil descent.
An international mover will know the best places to relocate, in terms of safety, price and connectivity. Established relations in larger countries like India can only be built up over time, and a company like Allied has the connections and knowhow to inform you of which areas will be best suited to you. Family links always help, of course, but even these can be difficult if people are located in remote areas. It’s important to be close-by to employment options to make relocating worthwhile.
The practicalities of moving
A good international mover will be able to help you with any tips and tricks for your move to India. They will be able to provide you with information on what to expect from your new home and will explain what to expect and suggest you apply as early as possible for visas, so any administrative delays and backlogs don’t become too much of a worry.
Having a job lined up, and knowing exactly where you’re going, are two basic essentials when moving from Malaysia to India. After that, it’s best to leave everything to the professionals.
