MM2H (Malaysia My Second Home)

Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) is a renewable multiple-entry social visa allowing foreigners to live in Malaysia long-term. It requires proof of offshore liquid assets, a fixed deposit held in Malaysia, and minimum monthly offshore income — current thresholds as of 2026 are detailed in our Malaysia guide. Property ownership is common among MM2H holders but not a strict requirement of the programme itself.

• —MM2H requirements have been revised multiple times since 2021 — always verify current thresholds with a licensed MM2H agent before planning around them.
• —MM2H holders are treated as foreign buyers for Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) purposes unless they separately obtain permanent residency.
• —Pairing an MM2H application with a qualifying property purchase is a common strategy among PropSentral's Malaysia buyers, but the two processes are administratively separate.
