Malaysia revamped the My Second Home programme in 2024 with Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers and a separate Special Economic Zone pathway.

Eligibility for Indian nationals

Indian passport holders are not excluded. The 2024 revamp set three main tiers plus a Special Economic Zone route. Applicants place a fixed deposit, buy approved residential property and meet a minimum stay each year.

Routes

The Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers differ by fixed deposit and property value. A separate Special Economic Zone and Special Financial Zone route carries lower deposit figures. Applicants must keep valid Malaysian medical insurance and pass a medical check.

Timeline

Processing time varies with the tier and document checks. Confirm the current expected timeline with the official authority.

Costs

The figures below are indicative. There is a property lock in period and a minimum yearly stay. Confirm all current figures before acting.
