How To Apply For The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Program

This section provides a clear and simplified guide on how to apply for the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Program. Before you begin your MM2H application, it is important to review the basic requirements, financial criteria, and benefits of the program to ensure you meet all eligibility conditions. Understanding these details will help you prepare the correct documents and avoid delays.

Applying for the Malaysia My Second Home program generally involves a few essential steps, such as confirming your eligibility, preparing financial documents, and submitting your MM2H application through an authorized MM2H agent or directly to the government. The following section outlines the key steps (in sequence) you should follow to begin your MM2H application smoothly and confidently.

STEP 1 : Find a licensed MM2H agent and MOTAC registration

All MM2H agents and service companies must be officially licensed by MOTAC (Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia), the governing authority responsible for regulating the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Program. Before choosing an agency, applicants are strongly encouraged to verify the company’s status through the Registered MM2H Companies List available on the official MOTAC website.

ASIA HOME SERVICES (MM2H) SDN BHD is among the first batch of MM2H-licensed companies approved by MOTAC Malaysia. As a registered and authorized MM2H agency, the company is permitted to provide professional services related to MM2H application processing, consultation, and supporting documentation.

STEP 2 : Consult a Licensed MM2H Agent For Accurate & Updated Information.

Many applicants learn about the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Program through YouTube videos, online articles, or public forums. While these sources can be helpful, the information may not always be updated or even wrong or misleading, as MM2H policies and requirements can change from time to time.

To avoid outdated or conflicting information, it is strongly recommended that you consult a licensed MM2H agent registered with MOTAC. A licensed agent can provide you with the latest policy updates, clarify any contradictions you may have encountered online, and answer all your questions accurately. This ensures that you receive reliable, official guidance before starting your MM2H application.

STEP 3: Appoint a Licensed MM2H Agent

Once you have made your decision to proceed with the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) application, the next step is to officially appoint a licensed MM2H agent. It is important to sign a formal service agreement with the agency and carefully read all terms and conditions before confirming your appointment.

Please be aware that once an agent has been appointed, you cannot switch to another agency unless you obtain a formal release letter from your existing agent. Most agencies may charge a fee, typically between MYR 500 to MYR 1,000, for issuing this release letter.

You should also request an itemised quotation from the agent. This helps you clearly understand all service charges, government fees, and any additional costs involved in your MM2H application.

STEP 4: Prepare Your MM2H Documents

Every MM2H applicant and family profile is unique, and the required documents may differ based on your background, nationality, age, dependents, and financial situation. It is important to discuss your personal details with your licensed MM2H agent, as this allows the agent to understand your case thoroughly and provide accurate guidance on the documents you need to prepare.

Document preparation usually takes around one month, depending on how quickly you can gather the required papers. You may refer to the next section for a detailed document checklist and sample documents commonly required for the Malaysia My Second Home application.

Once your documents are ready, you should send them electronically to your agent first. This allows your agent to review and confirm that everything is complete and correct before you send the physical hard copies by courier or mail.

STEP 5: Submission of Your MM2H Application

At this stage, your licensed MM2H agent will submit your complete application package to MOTAC (Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia) for official processing. After submission, you will receive an Acknowledgement of Payment (AP) or official receipt. This usually takes a few days, although in some cases it may take about a week.

Once the submission is completed and the AP is issued, the process becomes a waiting period. The average MM2H processing time is approximately three months, depending on the volume of applications and the accuracy of the documents submitted.

STEP 6: Your MM2H Application Is Approved

Once your Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) application is approved, your licensed agent will notify you immediately. You will then have 90 days to travel to Malaysia to complete the visa endorsement process. Before your trip, check with your agent to confirm what documents and preparations are required.

During this stage, you should also consult your agent regarding banking arrangements, medical check-up requirements, and recommended healthcare plans. It is important to prepare your funds in advance and ensure that your home-country bank can remit money to Malaysia smoothly and without restrictions. Resolve any banking limitations before you travel to avoid delays.

You should also schedule an appointment with your agent based on your travel dates and confirm the minimum number of days you need to stay in Kuala Lumpur. This will help you plan your trip more efficiently and ensure that all MM2H formalities can be completed without interruption.

STEP 7: Travel to Malaysia for Your MM2H Visa Endorsement

Welcome to Malaysia. At this stage, your licensed MM2H agent will have provided you with a detailed itinerary, outlining all required steps from your first day of arrival until the completion of your MM2H visa endorsement.

Once the MM2H visa—also referred to as the MM2H Pass—is endorsed and affixed to your passport, you are officially allowed to stay in Malaysia until the visa’s expiry date, subject to the program’s terms and conditions.

Before leaving the immigration office or upon receiving your passport back from your agent, be sure to carefully check all visa details, including your name, passport number, category, and validity period, to ensure there are no errors.
