Your path to Malaysia, defined.

Not freely — the deposit is the financial anchor of your visa and largely stays in place. After approval, up to 50% may be withdrawn for approved purposes — property, your children's education, medical treatment, and domestic tourism — supported by vouchers and receipts. The balance remains locked for the life of the pass. Exact terms depend on your bank and the latest official conditions.

No. MM2H asks for a minimum of 90 cumulative days per calendar year, not full-time residence — and applicants aged 50 and above are exempt from the minimum stay altogether. For applicants aged 25–49 (21–49 for SEZ/SFZ Johor), the requirement can be met by either the main applicant or one registered dependant, which gives families real flexibility.

Yes. Across all four tiers you can register your spouse, children under 34, and both parents as dependants on your application.

The current tiers don't apply a fixed monthly offshore-income test. An income statement is still required, however, so the authorities can verify that an applicant has sufficient income — it forms part of the approval assessment. We confirm exactly which financial evidence your profile needs before you file.

Timing depends on document completeness and MOTAC OSC MM2H processing, so we don't promise a fixed date. In practice the file moves through five stages — profile assessment, document preparation, submission, a Conditional Approval Letter, then endorsement during a short visit to Malaysia. We prepare and coordinate each stage to avoid the delays that are within our control.

Yes. The programme was restructured into the current Silver, Gold, Platinum, and SEZ/SFZ Johor tiers, with revised deposit and property thresholds. Because the rules continue to evolve, treat any summary as general guidance and confirm the specifics against the latest official announcements before you commit.

It depends on the tier. Silver, Gold, and SEZ/SFZ Johor do not carry work or business rights. Platinum is the only tier that permits work and business activity — so if employment or running a company matters to you, Platinum is the route to discuss.

For applicants under 50, the 90-day stay is an important MM2H condition (applicants aged 50 and above are exempt). It is 90 days cumulative across the year — not 90 continuous days. Missing it can affect your compliance record and potentially your renewal or visa status, and the authorities may take action if programme terms aren't met. The best approach is to plan the days early in the year and keep your passport entry/exit records in order — which is exactly what we help families track.

Yes — each tier carries a minimum property purchase, from RM600,000 (Silver) to RM1,000,000 (Gold) and RM2,000,000 (Platinum). Standard tiers let you use a property you already own, and you can complete the purchase before endorsement or within one year after. SEZ/SFZ Johor requires buying within the Special Zone before endorsement. In all cases the property cannot be sold for 10 years (resale is allowed only to upgrade).

No. There is no in-place upgrade — moving to a higher tier requires a fresh MM2H application under that tier's requirements. We weigh this with you from the start so you choose the right tier first time.

MM2H is generally available to applicants of all nationalities, provided they meet the programme requirements and pass the required Malaysian government checks. Approval is not automatic and remains subject to the authorities' final decision.

MM2H is a renewable long-term social visit pass — it lets you live in and base your family from Malaysia, but it is not itself a work permit. Only the Platinum tier carries work and business rights; an Employment Pass is a separate, employer-sponsored route. We can map which one fits your plans.
