Malaysia My Second Home · 2026 guide
A considered route to living in Malaysia.
MM2H offers eligible international clients a renewable long-stay base in Malaysia. We help compare the category, property commitment and wider relocation plan before an application begins.
Malaysia · Lifestyle, property and long-stay planningWhat is MM2H?
More than a visa. It is a long-term decision.
Malaysia My Second Home is a government-backed programme for eligible foreign applicants. Depending on the category, it combines a renewable multiple-entry pass with fixed-deposit, residential-property and other conditions.
Applications must be made through a Malaysian MM2H business licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture. PF EuroAsia coordinates the initial assessment and connects the immigration, property and relocation work with the appropriate Malaysian specialists.

Conditions shared across the programme
The points behind the tier.
The pass duration is only one part of the decision. The annual presence, property holding period and family structure should all be reviewed together.
Annual presence
The official overview applies a 90-day annual requirement to participants aged below 50. For ages 25–49, the principal and/or eligible dependants may fulfil it.
Property commitment
A qualifying residence must be purchased after approval and generally cannot be sold for 10 years, except when upgrading to a higher-value residence.
Fixed-deposit access
Up to 50% may be withdrawn after approval for specified Malaysian property, education, medical and tourism purposes.
Family inclusion
Eligible dependants can include a spouse, qualifying children, parents and parents-in-law. Platinum also permits a foreign maid under the programme rules.
Why Malaysia?
A practical base at the centre of Southeast Asia.
For many international families, Malaysia combines modern city living, established healthcare and education, English-language accessibility and direct regional connections.
- ConnectivityDirect access across Southeast Asia and beyond from Kuala Lumpur.
- HealthcareA developed private healthcare market used by international patients.
- EducationInternational-school options including British, American and IB curricula.
- LifestyleCity, island and resort living within one country.
Tax and immigration
Keep the two questions separate.
The official MM2H guidance describes exemptions for foreign funds or income and Malaysian fixed-deposit profit. Tax treatment remains subject to prevailing Malaysian law, source and remittance rules, and individual circumstances.
An MM2H pass does not by itself establish Malaysian tax residence or end tax residence elsewhere. Obtain coordinated advice in Malaysia and in the country being left before acting.

MM2H questions
The important distinctions.
Is MM2H permanent residence?
No. MM2H is a renewable long-stay programme with a multiple-entry pass. It is not Malaysian permanent residence or citizenship.
Can family members be included?
The official programme allows a spouse, eligible children, medically certified disabled children without an age limit, and parents or parents-in-law. The precise documents and conditions should be checked before applying.
Can part of the fixed deposit be withdrawn?
After approval, the official rules permit withdrawal of up to 50% of the principal fixed deposit for specified purposes including property, education, medical and tourism expenditure in Malaysia.
Does MM2H automatically make me tax resident in Malaysia?
No. Immigration permission and personal tax residence are separate. Malaysian tax residence depends on the statutory tests and the individual’s facts, while the country being left may continue to apply its own residence rules.
