Malaysia Premium Visa
Programme (PVIP)
The Malaysia Premium Visa Programme (PVIP) is a government-backed long-term residency visa designed for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, remote professionals, and global investors. Offering a renewable 20-year multiple-entry visa, PVIP allows you and your family to live, work, invest, study, and enjoy Malaysia without a local sponsor or minimum stay requirement.
To qualify, applicants must show an offshore income of RM40,000/month and place a fixed deposit of RM1 million. Dependents, including spouse, children under 21, and parents, can be included under the same application.
With a territorial tax system, modern infrastructure, world-class healthcare, and a welcoming lifestyle, Malaysia offers the perfect base for global citizens. The PVIP is your gateway to long-term residency in one of Asia’s most attractive and affordable destinations.
