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 RM1,000 applies per principal application — the lowest of all MM2H tiers. There is no participation fee for dependents.
02Property Requirements
Yes — it's compulsory to purchase and own a residence after MM2H approval, valued at RM 600,000 or above (or per local authority guidelines 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
The principal must be present in Malaysia for 90 days (cumulative) per year. For principals 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
04Visa & Renewal
A 5-year MM2H pass with a Multiple Entry Visa (MEV), renewable — the shortest initial term of the three tiers, reflecting its lower entry requirements. 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 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 RM1,500 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.
No — business, investment, and career opportunities are not allowed under the Silver category. This is available only under Platinum.
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.
