A maximum withdrawal of 50% is allowed on the principal FD value after MM2H approval, for the purposes of purchasing a residence, or for education, medical, and tourism activities in Malaysia.
A one-off participation fee of RM200,000 applies per principal application. There is no participation fee for dependents.
02Property Requirements
Yes — it's compulsory to purchase and own a residence within 1 year of MM2H approval, valued at RM 2 million or above (or per the local authority's latest minimum threshold for foreigners). Failure to comply with this or any other term will result in your MM2H pass being revoked.
Selling is not allowed for 10 years. However, you may upgrade by purchasing a new residence of higher value than your current property.
03Stay Requirement & Dependents
Principals must be present in Malaysia for 90 days (cumulative) per year. For participants aged 25 to 49, this requirement can be fulfilled by the principal and/or their dependents combined.
- Spouse (wife/husband)
- Biological, step, or adopted children below 21 — those aged 21 to 34 must be unemployed and single while in Malaysia
- Medically certified children with disabilities (no age limit)
- Parents and/or parents-in-law
- Foreign maid
04Visa & Renewal
A 20-year MM2H pass with a Multiple Entry Visa (MEV), for both principal and dependents, and renewable. The pass's validity depends on your passport's validity — if your passport expires before the pass does, you'll need to renew it.
The pass can be renewed every 5 years after the initial 20-year term completes. You'll need a valid passport copy, latest medical report, and health insurance — submitted to the One Stop Centre, MM2H. The renewal fee is RM5,000 for principal and dependents.
The MM2H Pass is transferable to the next-of-kin among the registered dependents.
05Education, Career & Other Benefits
Yes — dependents (children) can pursue education up to tertiary level at any government-recognised higher learning institution in Malaysia, using their existing MM2H pass or an automatically issued Student Pass.
Yes — business, investment, and career opportunities are permissible under the Platinum category, unlike Silver and Gold.
Yes — a compulsory medical check-up at a panel clinic/hospital appointed by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, for both principal and dependents, after receiving MM2H approval. Long-term medical treatment in Malaysia is also allowed.
Yes — this category's speciality includes a tax exemption on incoming funds, such as your Fixed Deposit.
