Hi
And can you now get a Certificate of Residence?

My certificate was sent to My income tax branch office and My refund was processed soon after it.

As I am traveling all the time, I can't show 6 months continuos stay and that I am home maybe 4 times year. I want to move to be a tax resident in full in Malaysia. What is the criteria on the passport?

Shehajaz

You need to be physically in Malaysia for 183days within the same year but not necessarily consecutive days

Woah, is there a certificate ? is this after 183 days or on tax clearance ?
How to do tax refund ? what do I need to prepare ?

Gravitas

The Certificate of Residence proves the number of days in Malaysia (on work permit, MM2H etc. - not as tourist).

Do we still need visa after getting Resident certificate ?

Gravitas

Yes, the Residence Certificate is just about income tax, nothing to do with immigration.
