About this Visa
The LTSVP lets elderly parents aged 60+ from other countries live in Malaysia with their adult children or siblings. You stay with family who support you financially. This is not a work visa—it's purely for family reunification. It's different from a tourist visa because you get 12 months instead of just weeks, and you can renew it year after year. No countries are completely banned. Security bond costs vary by nationality, but everyone can apply. You cannot work on this visa.
