What is MM2H?
MM2H is a renewable long-term residence visa programme administered by Malaysia's Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC), open to foreign nationals. Spouses, unmarried children (including disabled children of any age with medical certification), parents and parents-in-law are all eligible as dependents.
From 2024, all applications must be submitted via a MOTAC-licensed MM2H agent — direct individual applications are no longer accepted.
50% Partial Deposit Withdrawal
Across all tiers, 50% of the fixed deposit can be withdrawn — either within 2 years before MM2H Pass endorsement or any time after — for: property purchase, medical, education, or domestic tourism expenses.
Tax Exemption
Foreign-sourced funds, foreign income, and interest earned on Malaysian fixed deposits are all tax-free.
