Before applying the WHM visa, there are many considerations to be made.
1. Why do you want to apply for this visa? For me:
This is a once in a life-time experience. If I don't do it now, I will never do it and fyi, you gotta do it before you are 30. That means if you are 28, that's the last chance you can apply for the visa (plus 2 years of travelling you will be 30 by then).
2. Do you have any commitment?
Car or house installments, breadwinner of the family, you are married! (if you are married, it's compulsary for you to apply the visa with your spouse), girl friend/boy friend (please bear in mind the risk of a long distance relationship - I am suffering like sh*t now T_T) and etc etc.
3. Do you have enough money/ a sponsor?
You need quite a bit to apply the visa
Visa application fees: RM 1440
Documents: You will need to spend RM 10-30 to get your detailed bank statements (unless you print it online and got it certified by the bank)
Laptop: RM 2000-3000. Internet is essential in your daily life. hmm, maybe that's for me. I couldn't imagine my life without the Internet!!! You need that to look for jobs, accommodation, update yourself with the latest news in your home country, keep in contact with the family and boyfriend, online shopping (this is not essential...wahahah..but things are much cheaper online), look for travel information and etc etc.
Air Ticket: If you are gonna leave the country for more than a year, buy a one way ticket - there's no open ticket for more than a year. It will cost around RM 1800- RM 2000 depends on the airline. You can try Qantas, BA, Emirates (can stop by Dubai) or Qatar.
Got to go back to work now. TBC ...
*yawn*
