MM2H: Malaysia Residency & Visa for Expats

Overview of MM2H

The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program is a residency initiative that allows you to enjoy long-term living in beautiful Malaysia. With four tiers—Silver, Gold, Platinum, and the Special Economic Zone(SEZ), you can find the perfect fit that meets your requirements.

Requirements and Eligibility Made Easy

We understand that navigating residency requirements can be overwhelming. Here’s what you need to know.

General Requirements:

You must be at least 25 years old(21 years old for SEZ tier).
A minimum stay of 90 days per year is required, which can be fulfilled by you or your dependents, (50 years old and above applicants are exempted).
All tiers require you to buy a property in Malaysia, a great way to invest in your new home.
You’ll need to open a fixed deposit account with a minimum amount specific to each tier. You can withdraw 50% of this deposit immediately after getting your visa endorsed, for home purchases, healthcare, education and domestic tourism.
There is no minimum income requirement or minimum value of liquid assets, however, you do need to show proof of offshore income and/or financial ability to fund your stay.
