Eligibility for Turkish nationals

The programme is open to foreign nationals from sovereign states that hold diplomatic relations with Malaysia. Turkey and Malaysia maintain diplomatic relations, so Turkish nationals are generally eligible to apply.

Some nationalities face enhanced screening, so confirm with the official authority or an approved agent whether any extra documentation applies to your case.

Routes

The pass is built around tiers, each with a bank fixed deposit kept in Malaysia and a minimum property purchase. The main tiers are Silver, Gold and Platinum. A separate special economic and financial zone category carries a lower deposit. A portion of the deposit may be withdrawn for approved uses after a set period, subject to the current rules.

Timeline

Applications run through a One Stop Centre under the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture working with the Immigration Department. Confirm the current expected processing time with the official authority.

Common questions

Are Turkish nationals eligible for MM2H?

Generally yes, because Turkey holds diplomatic relations with Malaysia. Confirm any enhanced screening for your case with the official authority or an approved agent.

Is MM2H citizenship?

No. It is a long stay residency pass, not citizenship. Confirm renewal and stay conditions with the official authority.

Can I get the deposit back?

Part of the fixed deposit may be withdrawn for approved purposes after a set period under the current rules. Confirm the present terms with the official authority.
