About Malaysia Citizenship and Residency

Malaysia offers residency by investment program, which is known as Malaysia My Second Home Program (MM2H). In this program, the foreigner is allowed to obtain a long-term visa (10 years) by investing in the country. The MM2H program rules depend on the age of the main applicant, applicants need to pass a background check and medical test and buy a health insurance policy. Applicants are required to demonstrate the capability to support themselves financially in Malaysia without seeking employment or government assistance. The program also allows the main applicant to include their spouse and dependent children under 21 in their application with no extra deposit. The MM2H program does not offer a path to permanent residency or citizenship, Malaysia may accept a request for naturalization from individuals who have physically resided in the country for 10 of the preceding 12 years and who have adequate knowledge of the Malay language. And Malaysia does not permit dual citizenship.

The MM2H program rules:

Applicants under 50 years of age, must deposit an amount of MYR 300,000 (USD 67,226) in a Malaysian bank account. After one year they must keep a minimum balance of MYR 150,000 (USD 33,613) throughout their stay in the country. The rest of the amount is spent on the purchase of a home, education, or medical expenses.

Applicants above 50 years of age, must either open a fixed deposit account of MYR 150,000 (USD 33,613) or provide evidence of an MYR 10,000 (USD 2,240) monthly pension from an offshore account. From the second year onwards, the applicant must maintain a minimum balance of MYR 100,000 (USD 22,408) throughout their stay in the country. As in the previous case, the rest of the amount can be spent on the purchase of a home, education, or medical expenses.

All MM2H applicants must have a Malaysian sponsor to support their application and pay Personal Bond (up to MYR 2000).
