Overview

5-year renewable long-stay residency for ages 25+ with USD 150,000 deposit; no work permitted.

The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Silver is the entry-level tier of Malaysia's revamped long-stay programme. It provides renewable residency for foreign nationals seeking extended stay in Malaysia with a clear path to enjoy the country's lifestyle.

This 5-year renewable pass requires a USD 150,000 fixed deposit and RM 600,000 property purchase. Participation fee is MYR 1,000 (one-off); renewals cost MYR 1,500 per person. Spouses and children up to 34 may join. Work is prohibited; business and investment activities are not allowed. Processing takes 2–3 months.

This visa is ideal for affluent individuals aged 25+ seeking long-term Southeast Asian residency without employment. Retirees and remote workers with offshore income form the core audience.
