Official Information

Overview

15-year renewable long-stay programme requiring RM30,000/month offshore income and RM500,000 fixed deposit, with work and business eligibility.

The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Gold category is part of the revamped, tiered MM2H programme launched in 2024 to modernize the country's approach to long-term residency. Building on the legacy of the original 2002 programme, this tier provides a balanced option for those who desire a substantial, long-term commitment to Malaysia without the extreme capital requirements of the Platinum tier. It serves as a middle-ground solution for individuals seeking security and stability for an extended period.

This visa is designed for applicants aged 25 and above who are looking for a 15-year renewable residency. It requires a USD 500,000 fixed deposit and a minimum property investment of RM 1 million. While it does not grant the same work permissions as the Platinum tier, it is highly attractive to retirees, remote workers, and expatriates who want a reliable, long-term home in Malaysia. Its distinctiveness lies in its 15-year duration, providing a secure, long-term lifestyle option for those who meet the substantial, yet accessible, financial criteria.
