MM2H Approval & Visa Endorsement β What Happens Next
Congratulations β once your Malaysia My Second Home application is approved, here's exactly what to prepare before you fly, and what to expect day-by-day during your visa endorsement trip to Malaysia.
Once your MM2H application is approved, you have 90 days to visit Malaysia to complete your visa endorsement. As of mid-October 2025, we advise budgeting at least 6 working days in Malaysia to complete the process comfortably β please check with us before booking your flight ticket.
Before You Depart β Pre-Arrival Checklist
- 1Pre-arrival bank account opening β where possible, start this process before you fly.
- 2Prepare your fund transfer from your home country, and check with your home bank for any transfer restrictions well in advance.
- 3Check your global insurance coverage. If your existing policy already covers Malaysia, you won't need to purchase local insurance β otherwise, you'll need a Malaysian medical insurance/health plan upon arrival.
- 4Buy your flight ticket (a one-way ticket is acceptable to Malaysian Immigration) and inform your agent of your arrival date and time.
- 5Note: if you choose to open your bank account after arriving in Malaysia instead, expect 1β3 days before the account is active and ready to accept an overseas fund transfer.
