Overview

MM2H offers three main tiers: Silver (USD 150,000 fixed deposit, property from RM 600,000, five-year pass), Gold (USD 500,000, property from RM 1 million, 15 years) and Platinum (USD 1 million, property from RM 2 million, 20 years).

A Special Economic Zone variant in Johor has lower deposits, from USD 32,000 for applicants aged 50 or over.

State property minimums may be higher than the MM2H floor, and the higher figure applies.

After approval, up to 50% of the fixed deposit principal may be withdrawn, only for buying the residence, education, medical care or tourism in Malaysia. The residence must be bought after approval and cannot be sold for ten years, except to upgrade to a higher-value home.

Application process

1Apply through an MM2H tour operator licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture; individual applications are not accepted, and all files go through the MM2H One Stop Centre.
2The One Stop Centre reviews the application, with final immigration approval resting with the Home Affairs Ministry through the Immigration Department, which issues a conditional approval letter.
3After approval, place the fixed deposit under lien at a Malaysian bank, pass a medical check at a panel clinic, and supply health insurance if under 60 plus a stamped personal bond.
4You or your MM2H company attend the Immigration Department with your passport and conditional approval letter to have the Social Visit Pass endorsed; the client charter is one day.
5Buy and own a residence at or above your tier's minimum after approval; it cannot be sold for ten years except to upgrade.
6Renew the pass through the One Stop Centre or Immigration Department, with a medical report and health insurance; the client charter for a five-year renewal is 30 working days.
