MM2H Visa Guide (2026): Tiers & Requirements
Last updated July 2026 — the MM2H programme was restructured; figures reflect the latest publicly available guidance and are subject to change.
Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) is Malaysia's long-stay visa for foreigners, restructured into Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers plus a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) pathway. Here's what each tier requires.
The Four MM2H Pathways
| Tier | Fixed deposit | Visa validity |
|---|---|---|
| SEZ (age 21–49) | USD 65,000 | 5 years |
| SEZ (age 50+) | USD 32,000 | 5 years |
| Silver | USD 150,000 | 10 years |
| Gold | USD 500,000 | 15 years |
| Platinum | USD 1,000,000 | 20 years |
Minimum Property Purchase by Tier
| Tier | Minimum property value |
|---|---|
| SEZ (Forest City only) | RM500,000 |
| Silver | RM600,000 |
| Gold | RM1,000,000 |
| Platinum | RM2,000,000 |
Properties purchased under MM2H carry a 10-year resale restriction enforced by the state land authority.
Fixed Deposit Withdrawal
Up to 50% of the fixed deposit can be withdrawn after completing a qualifying property purchase, for approved purposes: property purchase, children's education in Malaysia, or medical expenses in Malaysia.
Age & Residency Requirements
The SEZ route has a minimum age of 21; Silver, Gold and Platinum applicants must be 25 or above. Applicants under 50 must spend at least 90 days per year in Malaysia; there is currently no annual stay requirement for those aged 50 and above.
MM2H and Johor Bahru Property
MM2H's minimum property values line up closely with developments in Johor Bahru's JS-SEZ growth corridor. See our Singapore buyer's guide and stamp duty calculator for the practical side of purchasing, and explore EXSIM's Causewayz Square, The Celestz, and The Asteriaz.
