Malaysia My Second Home is open to citizens of most countries, and Filipino applicants can apply. It grants a renewable residence pass rather than citizenship or permanent residence. Applicants must meet the financial criteria of their chosen tier and pass security and health checks.
Confirm any nationality specific conditions with the official authority before you act, since the programme rules are reviewed from time to time.
The programme runs in tiers. The Silver tier asks for a fixed deposit from USD 150,000 and a property purchase from RM 600,000. The Gold tier asks for a fixed deposit from USD 500,000 and a property from RM 1,000,000. The Platinum tier asks for a fixed deposit from USD 1,000,000 and a property from RM 2,000,000.
A separate Special Economic Zone category was introduced in 2025 with lower entry thresholds, limited to approved areas such as Forest City in Johor. Up to half of the fixed deposit may be withdrawn after approval for approved uses such as property, education or medical needs. Confirm the current tiers and rules with the official authority.
Applications are processed through the official One Stop Centre. Processing time depends on document readiness and checks. Confirm the current timeline with the official authority.
Beyond the fixed deposit and property, plan for the application fee, the visa pass fee, medical insurance and professional help. Applicants aged 25 to 49 must stay at least 90 days a year, while those aged 50 and over are not subject to that rule.
We do not name or recommend firms. To compare vetted advisors for a Filipino application, use Get Matched, and ask for a clear written scope and fee first.
