Overview
The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme is a four-tiered long-term visa that lets foreigners live in Malaysia for 5 to 20 years.
Holders may bring family members and pursue work / business opportunities (depending on tier).
- Silver: 5 year validity, lowest requirements and least allowances
- Gold: 15 year validity, moderate requirements and allowances
- Platinum: 20 year validity, highest requirements and most allowances
- Special Economic Zone: 10 year validity with specific home purchase


Key Similarities
All four MM2H Passes share the following benefits and features:
- Dependents: Spouse, children, and parents/in-laws
- Multiple Entry Visa: Principals and dependents may freely leave and enter
- Minimum stay: A 90-day cumulative stay per year
- Minimum property hold: You cannot sell the home purchased to satisfy MM2H requirements for 10 years unless purchasing a more expensive property
- Medical benefits: Long-term medical treatment is permitted
- Education benefits: Children eligible for tertiary education / Student Passes
- Fixed deposit withdrawal: Up to 50% of deposit may be withdrawn
- Pass transfer: The principal changes to next of kin if the original holder dies
- Renewal requirements: Every five years
- Tax exemption: The same overseas funds are not taxed (see our MM2H tax exemption guide for details)
Application Steps
This is what a typical application process looks like for overseas expatriates who go through MISHU:
- Step 1: Meet our consultant to discuss your requirements.
- Step 2: Confirm your package selection, sign an agreement, and make a 20% downpayment.
- Step 3 (1-2 months): You prepare the necessary documents and have them notarised and certified–see our checklist for full details.
- Step 4 (2-3 months): We submit the documents to MOTAC, who will issue a conditional letter of approval if everything is in order.
- Step 5 (2-3 months): Upon receiving a conditional approval letter, we ask you to pay the remaining balance within 7 days.
- Step 6: You enter Malaysia for visa endorsement within 3 months of the approval letter.
- Step 7 (3-4 working days): You visit Malaysia to open a bank account in Malaysia for FD purposes, complete a medical check-up, and purchase medical insurance (if needed).
- Step 8: Visa endorsement is successfully done.
On average each application takes around 3 months from end-to end,
If you haven’t purchased your property upon Step 8, Immigration will issue a temporary MM2H visa giving you 3 to 12 months to find and purchase a home, depending on pass category.

Frequently Asked Questions
Easily the Platinum tier which automatically allows the holder to work and do business.
There are no discounts on the basis of being an MM2H participant. Developers and property agencies may offer discounts at their discretion, but the purchase price must meet the minimum value for your intended MM2H category.
Unfortunately, there is no such list at the moment, though we can confirm that Forest City in Johor is developed by Country Garden.
The Malaysian Ministry of Tourism and Culture which oversees MM2H has a directory here.
Adding up the various fees, as much as USD1.5 million or as (comparatively) little as USD295,000 depending on the tier.
There are no specific allowances for MM2H holders, which means it depends on state-specific guidelines on foreign ownership of land.
There are no specific rules for MM2H, so it would be best to verify with customs for high-value items.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, if the Sale & Purchase Agreement is signed after your MM2H pass endorsement.
No, both owners must apply together—one as principal and the other as dependent.
You have three options:
- Transfer full ownership to one spouse (who applies as the principal).
- Both apply together (one as principal, one as dependent).
- Purchase a new property under 100% ownership of the principal applicant.
Platinum Pass holders are automatically allowed to do this, but holders of other categories will need to request additional passes.
No, dependents are not subject to the participating fee.
Unfortunately no, you must meet the property requirements with a single residential property.
If you are thinking of your fixed deposit, then no, you get a tax exemption on that 🙂
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Unfortunately no, each application is treated separately.
SEZ developers have special permission from the state government to sell properties to foreigners at lower prices to encourage MM2H applicants. For example, Forest City properties can be sold for as low as RM500,000 instead of the usual RM1,000,000.
Of course, this only applies to SEZ MM2H Passes as there’s no minimum purchase value as long as the property meets state policies and is bought directly from the developer, so be sure to check the Developer’s license and permits for state government certification to verify a property falls under SEZ!
So long as your pass is not expired, it will be renewed based on previous MM2H rules and requirements.
If you are keen on taking the job, you must cancel your MM2H visa and apply for an Employment Pass.
If a principal holder cancels their MM2H Pass, dependent visas under them will be canceled.
