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 Financial Zone (SFZ) and Special Economic Zone (SEZ)—you'll find the perfect fit for your lifestyle. Located in the vibrant Iskandar region of Johor, just a stone's throw from Singapore, this program offers an incredible opportunity to make Malaysia your second home.

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.
A minimum stay of 90 days per year is required, which can be fulfilled by you or your dependents.
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 after one year for approved expenses like home purchases, healthcare, and education.

There is no longer a requirement to show proof of regular offshore income or a minimum value of liquid assets. This makes the MM2H program one of the most generous residency options available globally.
