About this Visa
The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) visa allows you to live in Malaysia long-term. It is a 'social visit' pass, meaning you can live there, but it does not make you a permanent resident. It is designed for wealthy individuals, retirees, and families who want a second home in Asia. You can enter and leave Malaysia as often as you like. You can also bring your family, including your spouse, parents, and unmarried children up to age 34. This is very generous compared to other countries. There are three levels to choose from: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The higher levels cost more but give you a longer visa and more rights. You must apply through a licensed agent; you cannot apply by yourself.
