About this Visa
The PVIP is a 20-year residency visa for investors and entrepreneurs. You can work, start businesses, and bring your family with no restrictions. You don't have to live there full-time; you can come and go whenever you want. It's designed for people with good income who want long-term stability in Malaysia. Unlike other visas, you keep your investment money and can use half of it after one year. This visa provides real work and business rights with complete freedom to establish companies, manage investments, and earn income in Malaysia.
