» Sarawak-Malaysia My Second Home (S-MM2H) Visa Application Guide
MM2H stands for "Malaysia My Second Home".
The MM2H programme is a long-stay programme for foreigners organised by the Malaysian government, and on average, thousands were approved each year until it was temporarily frozen in 2020. During the freeze, the programme was revised and resumed with a new operating procedure and application conditions. The programme was then reviewed again and the changed conditions were announced in June 2024.
The MM2H is divided into categories and it allows for a maximum stay of 20 years.
Our company (IKI LINKS (MM2H) SDN. BHD.) is an officially licensed agent of the MM2H programme since 2012, based in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. We have successfully assisted numerous individuals in obtaining their MM2H visa.
Residence permission can be granted for a maximum of 20 years.
※MM2H Visas are issued according to the remaining validity period of the applicant's passport, and will not be issued beyond that.
Visas can be renewed once approved by the Malaysian Immigration. After the maximum tenure of the programme has expired, it can be renewed every 5 years.
Dependents, including spouses, children, parents, and parents in law are eligible for the visa attached to the applicant's MM2H visa.
※Children must be single and under the age of 35 or children with a handicap (no age restriction, doctor's certification required).
※Participants under Platinum category are allowed to bring a foreign maid.
※Children's MM2H dependent passes will become invalid when they reach the age of 35. The following options may be considered:
①Get a student pass (if you are a student) ②Get a work visa ③Finish your stay in Malaysia with an MM2H visa and adopt a social visit pass to enter 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.)
You can get long-term treatment or your child can attend school in Malaysia.
Tax exemption on funds remitted from other countries.
You are allowed to withdraw your fixed deposit only for specified purposes (e.g., the purchase of property, education, medical expenses, and tourism in Malaysia).
As it cannot be withdrawn for living expenses or other purposes, you need to plan your finances well in advance before you apply for your visa.
The MM2H visa prohibits working in Malaysia (i.e., being employed by an organisation in Malaysia or receiving income from a person or organisation in Malaysia).
If you wish to work in Malaysia, you must obtain a work visa or a PVIP (Malaysia Premium Visa Programme).
However, only MM2H participants in the platinum category are permitted to work or conduct 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.
Passport validity dates for the applicant and dependents may cause differing timing for the extension process for the MM2H visa.
