Your path to Malaysia, defined.

Partial withdrawals may be permitted under qualifying conditions (e.g. property purchase, medical, education). The exact ratio and conditions depend on the application category. For more details, refer to the brochure.

No. MM2H requires a minimum of 90 cumulative days per calendar year (accumulative of family members is allowed). Main applicants aged 50 and above may be exempt. You do not need to be present all year round.

Yes. The MM2H programme allows the main applicant to include their parents and parents-in-law as dependants, in addition to a spouse and unmarried children up to age 34.

As of June 2024, the monthly offshore income requirement for MM2H has been removed. Applicants are primarily assessed on their liquid financial assets and overall financial strength. Supplementary financial documentation may be requested on a case-by-case basis.

Typically 3–6 months once all documents are complete. Actual timing depends on the case, document completeness, and MOTAC's processing queue. WellHome helps by preparing a complete, error-free dossier the first time.

Yes. MM2H rules have shifted three times since 2021. The most significant change was the June 2024 restructure into four tiers (Silver, Gold, Platinum, and SEZ/SFZ Johor), which replaced the earlier two-tier system. The monthly income requirement was also removed. Anthony Liew was consulted during the policy review.

Only MM2H Platinum holders have the right to work in Malaysia without a separate Employment Pass. Silver, Gold, and SEZ/SFZ Johor tiers do not include work rights. Platinum also grants full business registration and company directorship rights.

Failure to meet the 90-day minimum annual stay may result in your MM2H visa not being renewed. However, MOTAC has historically exercised discretion for genuine cases. WellHome tracks your stay days annually and alerts you well before the year ends.

Yes. All MM2H tiers require a mandatory property purchase in Malaysia. The minimum varies by tier: RM 600K (Silver), RM 1M (Gold), RM 2M (Platinum), or per state minimum guidelines (SEZ/SFZ Johor). The property must be held for at least 10 years.

There is currently no direct upgrade mechanism — tier changes typically require submitting a new application. WellHome recommends choosing the right tier from the start — our consultation helps you make that decision.

MM2H is in principle open to applicants from all countries; some nationalities may require additional review or longer processing times. WellHome has placed families from 50+ countries and advises on country-specific requirements during your initial consultation.

MM2H is a long-term social visit pass designed for residency, not employment. It does not grant work rights (except Platinum tier). A work visa (Employment Pass) is employer-sponsored and tied to a specific job. MM2H gives you the freedom to live in Malaysia on your own terms.
