MM2H Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, former Malaysian citizens are eligible to apply. Perfect Homes has successfully secured an MM2H visa for a Canadian applicant who was previously a Malaysian citizen.

Yes, you may add your spouse and children in the future. When you get married or have children, you will need to submit the relevant documents such as your Marriage Certificate and your child's Birth Certificate to prove the relationship. You may also include your parents or in-laws in your MM2H application, provided they are at least 60 years old. To do so, you will need to provide your Birth Certificate or your spouse's Birth Certificate as supporting evidence.

Yes, single parents are eligible to bring their children under the MM2H program. You will need to provide documentation confirming legal custody, along with your child's Birth Certificate, to support the application.

The 90-day stay requirement applies only to main applicants under 50 years old. If you are 50 or older, this requirement is waived.

Yes, dependents with special needs can be included in your MM2H application. A supporting letter from a doctor is sufficient, and Perfect Homes has successfully helped clients obtain MM2H visas for children with special needs.

Yes, you may bring your pets to Malaysia, as they are treated as part of the family. Depending on the country of origin, your pet may be required to undergo a 7-day quarantine upon arrival.

For the Silver, Gold, and Platinum MM2H packages, if the main applicant passes away, the visa can be transferred to an eligible dependent, ensuring continuity of the MM2H status.

The MM2H program charges government fees based on the selected package: Silver RM 1,500, Gold RM 3,000, Platinum RM 5,000, and Special Entry (SEZ) RM 300. These fees are applicable for the visa application or renewal process.

The 90-day requirement is cumulative across the entire family. For example, if the main applicant stays 10 days, the spouse 20 days, children 30 days, and parents 30 days, the total adds up to 90 days, fulfilling the requirement.

While visa-free entry allows stays of 30 or 90 days, an MM2H visa is necessary if you plan to remain in Malaysia for longer periods. Frequent border crossings to extend your stay may raise concerns with Immigration, and repeated visa runs can lead to questioning or refusal of entry.

The MM2H program requires the applicant and their family to spend a combined minimum of 90 days in Malaysia each year. This total can be shared among family members.

Yes, you can purchase property even before obtaining your MM2H visa. Providing a supporting letter from a doctor is sufficient, and Perfect Homes has successfully assisted clients, including those with special needs children, in securing their MM2H approval.

The minimum property purchase requirement varies by package: Silver RM 600,000, Gold RM 1,000,000, and Platinum RM 2,000,000.

No. If you already own a property before applying for the MM2H visa, you are not required to purchase another one. However, to withdraw 50% of your fixed deposit, the Sales and Purchase Agreement must be dated within two years prior to the MM2H visa approval.

Yes, you may sell your property within 10 years of your MM2H visa approval, provided you purchase another property of equal or higher value in Malaysia to maintain compliance with the program requirements.

Yes, property ownership is generally required for MM2H applicants: RM 600,000 for Silver, RM 1,000,000 for Gold, and RM 2,000,000 for Platinum. However, if you already own a property that meets or exceeds the required threshold, you are not obligated to purchase an additional property.

If you do not already own a property in Malaysia, you are required to complete your property purchase within one year of obtaining your MM2H visa.

You are required to place your Fixed Deposit only after your MM2H application is approved. Once you receive the Conditional Approval Letter, you must enter Malaysia within 90 days to complete the visa endorsement and set up your Fixed Deposit. You will have six months from the approval date to prepare the transfer of funds: Silver USD 150,000, Gold USD 500,000, Platinum USD 1,000,000, SEZ (age > 50) USD 65,000, and SEZ (age > 21) USD 32,000.

You may withdraw up to 50% of your Fixed Deposit on a reimbursement basis. Typical supporting documents include a Sales and Purchase Agreement for property purchase, official medical receipts, student fee receipts for education, and tourism-related receipts.

The remaining 50% of your Fixed Deposit must stay in the bank for as long as you hold the MM2H visa. If you cancel your visa in the future, you will be allowed to withdraw the full remaining balance.

For the Silver program, your MM2H visa is valid for five years. When it expires, Perfect Homes can assist you in renewing it for another five-year period and continue supporting future renewals every five years thereafter, as long as you maintain at least 50% of your Fixed Deposit in the bank. The current renewal fees are Silver RM 1,500, Gold RM 3,000, Platinum RM 5,000, and SEZ RM 300.

While Malaysia does not allow holding multiple visas simultaneously such as MM2H and a work visa, the MM2H visa does permit you to set up a business and hire employees. However, you should not be directly involved in daily operations or receive a regular salary. As a business owner or shareholder, you may receive dividends or director's fees instead.
