Malaysia My Second Home — MM2H Property Guide

Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) is a government programme that allows qualifying foreign nationals to reside in Malaysia on a long-term pass. It is administered by the Malaysian authorities and its conditions have been revised several times.

Typically retirees, families relocating, and individuals who spend extended periods in Malaysia. Eligibility depends on financial criteria, age band and other requirements set by the programme at the time of application.

Some participants buy a home to live in, others buy with an eye on letting it when they are away. The right choice depends on how much time you will spend in Malaysia, the size of household, and whether you need a completed property immediately.

The programme has at times included property-related conditions, and separately every foreign buyer must meet the state minimum purchase price. Because both can change, confirm the requirements applying to your application before you commit to a property.

MM2H applications have historically involved fixed deposit and liquid asset conditions. Speak to a bank with an MM2H desk about account opening, deposit placement and financing options.

Programme conditions have varied over time. Check the current requirements with the official authority or a licensed agent before making a property decision on that basis.

Hui Xin advises on property, not immigration. MM2H applications should be handled by a licensed MM2H agent or the relevant authority. Nothing on this site is immigration or legal advice.
