Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H)

Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) is a long-term residence visa program launched by the Malaysian government in 1996 to encourage foreigners to live in Malaysia permanently. With a history of nearly 30 years, although the application requirements of the program have been adjusted and revised several times, it is favored by people who want to migrate to Malaysia due to its advantages such as simple application conditions, fast processing cycle, and low net cost.

In 2024, the Malaysian government introduced an optimized and upgraded version of the new MM2H policy. As long as applicants are over 21 years old, deposit at least 32,000 US dollars in a Malaysian bank, purchase a house worth more than 600,000 Malaysian ringgit, and stay in Malaysia for 90 days each year, they can obtain an MM2H visa with a validity period of 5 to 20 years.
