Program Overview

MM2H Program Guide

Everything you need to know about Malaysia's My Second Home program - in plain English.

What is MM2H?

Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) is a long-term multiple entry visa program created by the Malaysian government to attract long-term visitors and lifestyle seekers from around the world.

Rather than seeking permanent residency or citizenship, MM2H allows you to live in Malaysia on a renewable visa without the obligation to work or invest in business. It's designed for people who want to settle abroad for a defined period -not necessarily forever.

The program offers 4 tiers at different financial levels, each with distinct benefits, visa lengths, and requirements.
