What is MM2H?
Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) is a federal government initiative administered by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) and the Immigration Department of Malaysia to attract global citizens to live, invest, and retire in Malaysia under a structured 4-tier framework.
Under current MOTAC regulations, there are no minimum offshore monthly income requirements. The structure offers four categories: Platinum (20-year visa), Gold (15-year visa), Silver (5-year visa), and Special Economic/Financial Zone (SEZ/SFZ) (10-year visa).
