Malaysia My Second Home, known as MM2H, is a long stay visa for foreign nationals who meet financial and other conditions. The programme was revamped and now runs as a tiered scheme, so older figures may be out of date.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
The programme moved from a single set of conditions to a tiered structure. The three main categories are Silver, Gold and Platinum, each with its own fixed deposit and property purchase level, and there is a separate pathway tied to Special Economic Zones.
Procedure also tightened. Applications are channelled through licensed MM2H agents rather than submitted directly, and approved participants are expected to complete a medical check in Malaysia and hold valid Malaysian medical insurance.
Each tier sets a fixed deposit placed with a Malaysian bank and a minimum value of qualifying property to be purchased, with higher tiers carrying higher thresholds and longer pass validity. The indicative figures reported for 2026 are set out in the table below and should be confirmed with the authority.
Minimum physical presence applies. Reporting indicates that younger applicants face an annual stay requirement while older applicants may have a lighter requirement, but the exact rule by age band and tier should be confirmed directly, since it has shifted over time.
Watch for state level rules on the property purchase, since minimum prices for foreign buyers and the type of property allowed vary by state and can change separately from the national MM2H rules.
Watch also for procedural guidance from the Immigration Department and MOTAC on deposits, insurance, and the stay requirement, as enforcement has tightened even where the headline thresholds have stayed the same.
| Tier | Indicative fixed deposit | Indicative minimum property | Pass validity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | From USD 150,000 | From RM 600,000 | 5 years |
| Gold | From USD 500,000 | From RM 1,000,000 | 15 years |
| Platinum | From USD 1,000,000 | From RM 2,000,000 | 20 years |
