MM2H

The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program is a long-term residence scheme introduced by the Malaysian government to attract eligible foreigners to live, invest, and retire in Malaysia with their families. It provides multi-year renewable residence visas, allowing holders to freely enter and exit Malaysia, purchase property (subject to minimum price limits in certain states), enroll children in local international or public schools, and access Malaysian healthcare. Applicants must meet age, income, asset, and fixed deposit requirements. Upon approval, they can reside in Malaysia long-term. Note: MM2H does not grant direct permanent residence but can be renewed multiple times.

• Proof of stable monthly income (e.g., overseas pension, rental income, dividends).
• Fixed deposit in a Malaysian bank (amount varies by age and category).
