MM2H is a long-term visa programme offered by the Malaysian government to allow foreigners to live in Malaysia with a renewable multiple-entry social visit visa for up to 20 years (depending on the latest policy).
The MM2H programme is open to foreigners who meet the government’s financial requirements. This includes proof of income, liquid assets, and a fixed deposit in a Malaysian bank.
Generally, MM2H does not allow full-time employment. However, under certain conditions, such as the Platinum MM2H visa allows people to work in Malaysia.
Yes, your spouse and unmarried children under 34 years old can be included in your application as dependents.
Yes, MM2H holders can purchase property in Malaysia. However, there is a minimum purchase price set by each state (usually around RM 600,000 to RM 2 million, depending on location).
Depending on the latest policy, the visa is valid for up to 20 years and is renewable as long as you continue to meet the programme’s conditions.
No, income brought into Malaysia from overseas (such as pensions, dividends, or savings) is not taxed. However, any income earned within Malaysia may be subject to local tax laws.
The requirements may change from time to time. Generally, applicants must show proof of monthly income, liquid assets, and open a fixed deposit in Malaysia.
Yes, once your MM2H visa is approved, you will be able to open a bank account in Malaysia to place your fixed deposit and for daily use.
Yes, your children can study in Malaysia. Many MM2H families choose reputable international schools, which are available in most major cities.
Malaysia has excellent private hospitals with high standards of care and affordable costs. Many MM2H holders also purchase private health insurance.
It usually takes a few months depending on the completeness of documents and the latest processing time from the relevant authorities.
