Residency & Golden Visas
Malaysia My Second Home: four federal categories including the Forest City SEZ tier, plus the separate Sarawak-MM2H programme where property purchase is optional. A long-stay visit pass, not a route to citizenship.
About Malaysiaنبذة
Malaysia offers long-stay residence through Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H), administered by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture in four federal categories — Platinum, Gold, Silver and the SEZ/SFZ category for Forest City, Johor — and through the separate Sarawak-MM2H programme. Each requires a fixed deposit, and federal tiers also require a property purchase. MM2H is a renewable long-stay social visit pass with family inclusion; it does not lead to permanent residency or citizenship.
MM2H passes run 5 years (Silver), 10 years (SEZ/SFZ), 15 years (Gold) or 20 years (Platinum), renewable.
Family-friendly structure—include spouse, children, and parents as dependants.
Favorable tax approach: foreign-sourced income generally not taxed; income earned in Malaysia is taxed.
Only the Platinum tier permits work and business.
Access to high-quality healthcare, education, and well-developed infrastructure.
