Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about securing your future in Malaysia. From eligibility to lifestyle, we answer your most pressing questions about the MM2H programme.
Eligibility & Application
What is the minimum age to apply for MM2H?
For the Platinum and Gold tiers, the minimum age is 25. The Silver and Special Economic Zone (SEZ) tiers are more flexible, allowing applicants from age 21.
How long does the approval process take?
Typically, the process takes between 3 to 6 months. However, as a licensed agent (MM2H809), our streamlined documentation can often secure a Conditional Approval Letter (CAL) much faster.
Can I include my parents and children in my application?
Yes. You can include your spouse, parents, parents-in-law, and unmarried children under the age of 34. This makes Malaysia an ideal second home for multi-generational families.
Financials & Investment
Is it compulsory to buy a property under the new rules?
Yes, under the latest Mainland MM2H framework, purchasing a residential property is mandatory. The minimum investment ranges from RM600,000 to RM2,000,000 depending on your chosen tier.
When can I withdraw my Fixed Deposit?
After one year, you may withdraw up to 50% of your fixed deposit for approved expenses, including property purchase, your children’s education, or medical costs in Malaysia.
Lifestyle & Compliance
Do I need to stay in Malaysia for a specific number of days?
If the main applicant is under 50, there is a cumulative 90-day annual stay requirement. If the main applicant is 50 or older, this requirement is currently waived.
Can my children study in Malaysia on an MM2H visa?
Absolutely. Dependents are entitled to pursue world-class education in Malaysia’s renowned international schools and universities without needing a separate student visa.
