*In June 2024, the new conditions for MM2H Visa were announced.
All MM2H visa agents, including us, must re-register their agency licenses to accept new applications. Please wait a little longer until we are able to assist with MM2H visa applications.
Please note that some of the information on this page reflects the situation as of December 2023, before the new conditions were introduced. We will update this page with the latest details as soon as they are officially released.

MM2H stands for "Malaysia My Second Home".
The MM2H programme is a long-stay programme for foreigners organised by the Malaysian government. On average, thousands of applicants were approved each year until the programme was temporarily frozen in 2020. During this freeze, the programme underwent revisions and later resumed with new operating procedures and application conditions. The programme was then reviewed again and the changed conditions were announced in June 2024.
The MM2H programme is categorised into several tiers, allowing participants a maximum stay of up to 20 years.
Our company, IKI LINKS (MM2H) SDN. BHD., has been an officially licensed MM2H agent since 2012, based in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. We have successfully assisted numerous individuals in obtaining their MM2H visas.
Residence permits can be granted for a maximum of 20 years.
Note: MM2H visas are issued based on the remaining validity of the applicant's passport and will not exceed that period.
Visas can be renewed upon approval by Malaysian Immigration. After the maximum tenure of the programme has expired, the visa can be renewed every 5 years.
Dependents, including spouses, children, parents, and parents in law are eligible for a visa attached to the primary applicant's MM2H visa.
*Children must be single and under the age of 35. Children with disabilities are also eligible, regardless of age, with a doctor’s certification.
*Participants under Platinum category are allowed to bring a foreign maid.
*A child's MM2H dependent pass will become invalid once they reach the age of 35. At that point, the following options may be considered:
1. Obtain a student pass (if enrolled in an educational institution) 2. Obtain a work visa 3. Conclude their stay in Malaysia under the MM2H visa and switch to a social visit pass for entry into Malaysia
※The visa will be issued based on the validity date of the visa or the validity date of the passport, whichever is shorter. (It is preferable to match the validity of the passport and visa.)
MM2H visa holders are permitted to receive long-term medical treatment in Malaysia, and their children can attend school.
Funds remitted from other countries to Malaysia are exempt from tax.
The fixed deposit required for the MM2H visa can only be partially withdrawn and only for specific purposes (e.g., property purchase, education, medical expenses, or tourism within Malaysia).
Since the deposit cannot be used for living expenses or other unapproved purposes, it is essential to carefully plan your finances before applying for the visa.
In principle, the MM2H visa prohibits working in Malaysia, which includes being employed by an organisation in Malaysia or receiving income from any individual or organisation within Malaysia.
If you wish to work in Malaysia, you must apply for a work visa or a PVIP (Malaysia Premium Visa Programme).
However, only participants in the Platinum category of the MM2H programme are allowed to work or engage in business activities in Malaysia.
MM2H visas are issued based on the validity date of the applicant's passport. The visas of dependants will be issued based on the validity date of the applicant's visa or the validity date of each passport, whichever is shorter.
The differing passport validity dates between the applicant and dependants can lead to varied timings for visa extensions, adding to the complexity of managing the MM2H visa.
