New condos in Taman Desa for foreign buyers

Yes. Under section 433B of Malaysia's National Land Code, a non-citizen can acquire land, including a home, only after getting written approval from the state authority where the property is located. Taman Desa is in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, where the minimum price for foreign buyers is RM1 million. Ask me which units in each project qualify before you book.

Taman Desa is in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur (Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur), not in Selangor.

The projects I'm currently selling in Taman Desa are The Atas, a condominium of 624 homes, and Aetas Taman Desa, 217 larger homes with private lifts. Malaysia's Ministry of Economy guideline bars foreign buyers from units allocated to Bumiputera buyers, and a minimum price applies, so ask me which units are open to you.

From the developers' sales materials: The Atas, September 2028; Aetas Taman Desa, around 2030. The date that applies to you is the one in your own sale and purchase agreement.

From the developers' sales materials: The Atas has 3+1 to 4+1 bedrooms, from 1,156 to 1,518 sq ft, and Aetas Taman Desa has 3+1 to 5+1 bedrooms, from 2,400 to 7,385 sq ft. Ask me which layouts are still available.

Seputeh KTM is about 2 km from both projects, according to the developers' location maps, and Kerinchi LRT and Kuchai MRT are a short drive away. KL Sentral, for the KLIA Ekspres airport train, is about 7.6 km away. Ask me for the nearest station to a particular project.

The developers' location maps name Vikas International School and Campus Rangers International School in the area, and The Alice Smith School about 6 km away. Ask me which schools are within reach of the project you're looking at.

Taman Desa Medical Centre is in the neighbourhood, and Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur is about 5.6 km away, according to the developers' location maps.

dé Market is in Taman Desa, and Mid Valley Megamall is about 4 to 5 km away, according to the developers' location maps.

Under Malaysia's Finance Act 2025, from 1 January 2026 the stamp duty on transferring a home to a foreign company, or to a person who is neither a Malaysian citizen nor a permanent resident, is 8% of the price or the market value, whichever is higher. There are other costs too, so ask me for a full cost breakdown for the unit you're considering. My guide Can foreigners buy property in Malaysia? explains the rules.

Bank Negara Malaysia's foreign exchange rules, in force from 1 October 2025, allow a non-resident to borrow ringgit, in any amount, from a Malaysian resident lender to buy or build residential or commercial property in Malaysia. The rules permit the borrowing; they do not require any bank to lend, so confirm with your bank before you book.

KPKT's TEDUH portal (teduh.kpkt.gov.my) lets anyone look up a housing developer's licence and its advertising and sales permits, including how long each permit is valid.

Yes. I can show you units and sales galleries on a video call, so you can view before you travel.
