Do you know how they enforce 30 days living requirement in Sarawak? Can someone simply book 30 days in hotel and not live there 🤔
The 30-day living requirement in Sarawak under the MM2H program is designed to ensure that participants genuinely reside in the state. While booking a hotel for 30 days might seem like an option, the authorities typically monitor compliance closely. Pass holders must renew their S-MM2H pass annually, which requires proof of residency. This can include documentation such as hotel invoices or other records, but the intent is to discourage temporary or insincere arrangements. Additionally, applicants must stay a minimum of 30 days each year in Sarawak to maintain their status, so regular inspections or checks could be part of this enforcement process

Borneo mm2h is better than peninsula
Absolutely, many people find that Borneo's MM2H program offers unique benefits! From the stunning natural beauty and diverse culture to a more relaxed pace of life, it certainly has a lot to offer. What specific aspects do you think make it better?
@@OfficialMM2HResources I think the natural wonders in sarawak eg cave systems, orangutan, national parks. Food. People are nice. Hospitals. International school
Talking up the MM2H with plenty of BS won't make it work. One only needs to look at the many negative comments on videos addressing the new MM2H to see through the bluster. IMHO an appreciable percentage of those taking it up now will be keen to move their money around in an opaque manner with questionable motivation or background at their point of origin. I hope careful security and $ laundering procedures are in place.
I understand your concerns. It’s essential for any program like MM2H to maintain transparency and proper regulations to prevent misuse. While there are mixed opinions, many participants genuinely appreciate the lifestyle and opportunities it offers. Hopefully, the authorities will continue to enforce strict measures to ensure that it operates smoothly and securely. What specific changes or improvements would you like to see in the program?
Dream on! The numbers will tell. My bet is the take-up will be dismal - except among those with questionable background/motive and plenty of money. MM2H has lost touch with reality IMHO.
The current climate around MM2H has caused a lot of uncertainty, and it's crucial for the program to regain trust and appeal to a broader audience. Hopefully, the authorities will address these issues to attract genuine participants. It’ll be interesting to see how things evolve.
Thanks. Any update as at August 2024
You're welcome! For the latest updates on the Sarawak MM2H application, you can refer to this link: mtcp.sarawak.gov.my/web/subpage/webpage_view/49
Anyone can purchase property in Malaysia - they do not need to be an MM2H pass holder.
That's correct! Foreigners can purchase property in Malaysia without being MM2H pass holders.
May i ask : What about some of us who had been on MM2H in the past years, when date of expiry in next few years , would the new rules /conditions apply to Renewals ?
Good news for current MM2H visa holders! You won’t need to reapply or comply with the new rules and conditions for renewals. You will follow the terms that were in place when you first received your visa, ensuring continuity and stability for all existing participants.
The only guardian pass in the world
While the Malaysian guardian pass is unique in its specific application for international students, there are several countries with similar arrangements for guardians of minors studying abroad. Each country’s immigration policy has its nuances, reflecting their approach to supporting students.
Can you tell me where you got the information that S-MM2H visa holder can live anywhere in Malaysia? I understand a clause was added in recent S-MM2H applicant's Letter of Condition Acceptance that the holder can visit West Malaysia but not reside there. This is contrary to what yoy stated in the video.
Thanks for your comment! You’re correct that the latest version of the Sarawak-MM2H approval letter states that holders are 'allowed to travel to West Malaysia except to reside there.' However, many MM2H agents and holders have mentioned that this clause isn’t strictly enforced. In fact, Sarawak’s Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts, Mr. Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, said in a written response to CNA that Sarawak-MM2H participants can live anywhere in Malaysia, as long as they fulfill the minimum stay requirement of 30 days a year in Sarawak.
Do you have to buy a home?
Sabah MM2H Property Requirements: All applicants must purchase high rise property with minimum RM600,000 purchase price. Sarawak MM2H Property Requirements: no requirement to purchase property for applicants above 50 years old, while applicants below 50 years old need to meet one of these requirements in Sarawak: property purchase (minimum price of RM600,000 for Kuching and RM500,000 for other divisions) or have children continuing study in Sarawak or undergoing long-term medical treatment in Sarawak.
Dearest Malaysia.. if We spend money to your program Mm2h or Platinum. It would be Nice if you give Us Permanent Residence..Thank you!
Couldn’t of said it better
Thank you for your comment! We appreciate your enthusiasm for the MM2H and Platinum programs. While these programs provide great opportunities for long-term stays in Malaysia, I understand the desire for more stable residency options. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct path to permanent residency through these programs at this time. Your feedback is valuable, and I hope it will be considered for future improvements. Wishing you all the best with your plans in Malaysia!
Mm2h and golden visa open doors for rich Chinese immigrants.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! The MM2H and Golden Visa programs do attract individuals from various backgrounds, including wealthy investors.
Malaysia wins ,simply the best 🏆
Absolutely! Malaysia has so much to offer, from its rich culture and stunning landscapes to its delicious food and hospitality. It’s great to see such enthusiasm for the country! What do you love most about Malaysia?
On a lighter note 😄Just realised the implications of the three tiers are like athletes in the Olympics ,Imagine being eligible for residency provided you are a medal 🏅 holding winner in the top three spots but everyone els are not wanted ,sounds crazy huh ?
That's a clever analogy! It does highlight some interesting aspects of how residency programs can prioritize certain groups over others. While it’s important to attract skilled individuals and investors, it’s also essential to create inclusive opportunities for everyone. Your comparison really brings out the challenges in these systems-thanks for sharing that perspective!
I got my MM2H back in 2016. Is there any requirement that I should now comply with? Specifically the 90 days minimum stay?
you don't need to reapply or comply with the new requirements. You are required to adhere to the conditions that were in place when you first obtained your visa. This ensures continuity and stability for existing participants.
@@OfficialMM2HResources Really, really I appreciate your feedback which gave me a big relief
For Sarawak, those over 50 yrs old aren't required to purchase the property.
yes, this video was made before the official revamped MM2H on June 2024. You can check it out new requirements here: ruclips.net/video/eLsYBAvZvwk/видео.htmlsi=3oh0-iqfBU6lVNBI
This Ah Tiong is a law breaker
👀
This Ah Tiong is a law breaker.
Federal initiated law? Remember Sabah is a region and not a state of Malaysia. It's in the MA63.
Actually, while Sabah was initially described as a region in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), it is currently recognized as a state within the Federation of Malaysia. The relationship and status of Sabah have evolved over the years, and it's important to acknowledge both its unique history and its current standing in the country. Discussions around its rights under MA63 remain vital in ensuring that Sabah's interests are represented.
What about the current MM2H ers , say when the visa expire A) are we allowed to renew ( it was agreed at the time when it was approved ) ? B) if yes , the renewal conditions would remain the same ? Or renew according to the new requirements ?
Contact the MM2H agency you originally used
For existing MM2H, you can indeed renew your visa when it expires, and you will be allowed to follow the original conditions that were in place when your visa was approved. This means that your renewal will not be subject to the new requirements introduced for new applicants. It's designed to provide continuity for those who already hold the visa.
You say "Don't apply for MM2H until you read these 10 crucial answers"... but you cannot apply, the program is not open yet. So, it doesn't matter if you've read them or not.
That's a good point! The MM2H program is currently on hold, so applications aren't being accepted at the moment. However, the intention behind sharing those answers is to prepare potential applicants for when the program reopens. Understanding the information can help them make informed decisions once the application process resumes.
@@OfficialMM2HResources BUT... all requirements can change until fully released. The program has even changed since the details were first shown in December. I will only believe when the final version is fully released - all agents will be able to assist with applications. There is no MM2H program for new applicants, and the government is not MM2H-positive. Their actions speak louder than words.
@@tinglestingles It's true that details and requirements for the MM2H program can evolve until the official release. The changes since December have certainly led to uncertainty among potential applicants. Many share your skepticism until the final version is fully published and agents can start assisting again. Hopefully, we’ll see a more positive and stable direction for the program soon.
Q: may I ask about Sabbah of2 home, over 50 years old, didwr have to buy higher levever house in5 years above.?
Yes, under the Sabah MM2H program, all participants including 50 years old, you are required to purchase a property that costs at least RM600,000, and you must hold onto it for a minimum of 5 years. This requirement helps ensure long-term investment in the region.
I learned absolutely nothing from this.

You didn't talk about smm2h program when you say something so do something don't take people time
Thank you for your feedback. Here are the key points: Sarawak is setting up a lab to refine the program's terms and conditions, ensuring they meet the state's unique needs without replicating all federal MM2H requirements. This includes more flexible fixed deposit terms. The findings will be presented to the Cabinet for approval.
No update! Whatever happened to "truth in advertising"?
May i know what updates you are referring to? I would gladly point you in the right direction. In this video, Sarawak is setting up a lab to refine the program's terms and conditions to better suit the state's needs. This includes more flexible fixed deposit requirements, distinct from the federal MM2H program. The findings from the lab will be presented to the Cabinet for approval. I strive for transparency and will ensure to provide more comprehensive updates in future videos.
@@OfficialMM2HResources This video is just talk, nice pictures, no update on smm2h
Question: above 50 years old peoplehave to buy a high house ,for sm2h? and cannot sell in 5 years ,we are too old , 5 years we can't investmet by my self ?
Yes, under the Sabah MM2H program, all participants including 50 years old, you are required to purchase a property that costs at least RM600,000, and you must hold onto it for a minimum of 5 years. This requirement helps ensure long-term investment in the region.
The benefits to Malaysia far outweigh the benefits of those spending their foreign currency in Malaysia.
That's an interesting perspective! While it's true that the benefits to Malaysia include economic growth and cultural exchange, it's also important to recognize how foreign investors and expatriates contribute significantly to local economies. Their spending helps create jobs, supports businesses, and boosts tourism. Finding a balance between the benefits for both the country and the expatriate community can lead to a more sustainable and prosperous environment for everyone.
@@OfficialMM2HResources It certainly does not add up to make it conditional to purchase a property for retirement and insist it cannot be sold for 10 years yet you don’t get a 10 year visa ,grossly unfair and unethical. It should be a 10 year visa conditional to abiding by the law and doing no harm,no intentional injury and causing no loss for both parties. That way one would feel part of the community and share in the same way of life whilst spending and supporting the economy for mutual benefit. As for the recurring charges to obtain the resident permit /Visa the cost (exorbitant for each application)as a one off for the period of 10 years would be acceptable. I am just thinking aloud and in no way demanding anything ,my feelings and observations without fear ,favour or prejudice. 🙂
It is not hard to visit West Malaysia from sabah. Imigresen at the airport only man. Just get it stamped and u free to go. Nothing hard. Sabah is always full of tourist because it is the most beautiful city with stunning beaches and mountains..
The Federal Tourism Minister is from Sarawak ruling parties. You guys should at least first try to sort it out among yourselves instead of blame it on Federal Government.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's important to consider the roles and responsibilities of both state and federal authorities in addressing tourism-related issues. Collaboration and communication between the two levels of government are crucial for effective problem-solving. It's also important for all parties involved to work together to find solutions that benefit the tourism industry and the people it serves.
Just wasted ten minutes of my life waiting to hear answers only to hear waffle waffle and more waffle.

What about special economic zone mm2h?
Under the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) category of the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program, participants are specifically required to base themselves in designated areas which include the East Coast Economic Region, Northern Corridor Economic Region, or the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone . Unlike the general MM2H categories that might offer broader living options, participants in the SEZ MM2H are restricted to living within these particular economic regions, thereby limiting their residential options to these zones.
This is MM2H, buying a property is normal. This is a residency program, not a house rental program. Malaysia now wants to attract those who have net worth between US$2m - US$5m so I guess mainly targeting Asians. If you want a high level living, then you have to pay more. Look at HK, their requirements are 10x higher and even smaller space to live.
Great points! The MM2H program is indeed designed to attract individuals who are willing to invest in Malaysia, reflecting its focus on economic contributions through property purchases and financial deposits. Targeting those with a net worth between US$2m - US$5m is a strategic move to bring in high-net-worth individuals, primarily from the region. Comparing with Hong Kong, Malaysia offers a more affordable cost of living and larger living spaces, making it an attractive option for many. The program's aim is to balance attracting investment while ensuring sustainable development and quality of life for participants. Each country has its own approach, and Malaysia's strategy is tailored to its unique strengths and goals.
MM2H is not a residency program nor a retirement program. What you get is a Visit Pass (Social). Basically a long term visit visa, you get zero benefits such as paying the same rates for attractions as citizens do, you pay tourist rates. A huge amount of money for something that gives you just the right to "remain" (not reside - look at the wording) in Malaysia long term. For the people complaining about the requirement to be in Malaysia for 90 days in any year - if you aren't going to be there that many day then why get this visa - come on a tourist visit, enjoy the many things Malaysia has to offer and save money with no long term financial commitment. Many retirees have sold assets in their home country so that they have security in the event of illness etc in old age, the last thing they want to do is have to purchase a property in a foreign country. Imagine the problems you leave for your family should you die, trying to deal with the cancellation of your visa and sale of your property. Malaysia has a bad reputation of poor maintenance and a 10 year old property may not give you a return on your investment. There was an announcement saying you had to purchase from a developer - what about the tens of thousands of vacant properties that are owned by Malaysian individuals who now will not get a look in? The program has bounced around for two years with the anticipation of attracting the very rich, I don't see the likes of Bill Gates and Elon Musk stampeding towards Malaysia, there are so many alternatives. Complaining of property overhand is pretty hypocritical when there are high rise apartment blocks going up everywhere. The FD and requirement to owning a property are short term gain, as soon as a person leaves the program they sell up and take everything with them. Surely attracting people with a good security check to open a reasonable FD as a security measure and then requiring them to rent a property with a minimum month stipulation would put money directly into the Malaysian economy that cannot be taken back out. Sorry, but I think the program is a pie in the sky idealistic attempt at using foreigners to solve the housing crisis that is sadly doomed to fail.
My question is about renewing after the initial term of the visa has expired? Specifically, I want to know if the Silver tier MM2H (5 years) is renewable more than once - especially with a mandatory real estate purchase? How many renewals are available, or am I done at 10 years (1 renewal)? Same question for Sarawak MM2H - how many renewals will be available? Thank you.
Silver Tier MM2H Initial Term: The Silver tier MM2H visa is issued for an initial term of 5 years. Renewability: The visa can be renewed every 5 years. There is no specified limit on the number of renewals, implying that the visa can be renewed more than once. Mandatory Real Estate Purchase: Participants are required to purchase and own a house with a minimum value of RM600,000. This purchase must be made after receiving approval for the program. Renewal Requirements: For each renewal, applicants must submit updated documents including a valid passport, medical report, and health insurance. The renewal fee is RM1,500 for the principal and dependents. Sarawak MM2H Initial Term and Renewals: The Sarawak MM2H program also allows for a 5+5 years term (initial 5 years with a possible extension for another 5 years). Renewability: Participants can renew their visa after the initial 10-year period as long as they continue to meet the program’s requirements. Mandatory Real Estate Purchase: Sarawak MM2H do not require applicants above 59 years old to purchase property, while applicants below 50 years old need to meet one of there requirements in Sarawak: property purchase (requirement to own a residential house in Sarawak with a minimum price of RM600,000 for Kuching or RM500,000 for other divisions), education for their children or long term medical treatment in Sarawak. Renewal Requirements: The renewal process involves submitting a letter of intent, the original and copy of the applicant's passport, relevant forms (IMM.55, IMM.38 if applicable), the latest certified fixed deposit statement, the conditional approval letter, and an original medical report with the completed RB II form for the applicant and dependents. In summary, both the Silver tier MM2H and Sarawak MM2H visas can be renewed more than once, and there is no fixed limit on the number of renewals as long as the participants meet the renewal requirements.
Shouldn't the state such as Sabah adhere to the Tourism Industry Act 1992? If it doesn't, its criteria that's currently being used to attract would be residents will not be approved and people who apply, risk their applications not being approved. Very dicey!
Thank you for your comment! The Tourism Industry Act 1992 is indeed a significant piece of legislation that sets the framework for tourism activities across Malaysia. However, it's important to note that Sabah, along with Sarawak, has some autonomy and specific regulations that may differ from federal guidelines due to their unique status within Malaysia. This includes certain criteria and policies related to attracting residents and tourism initiatives. While it's crucial for states to align with national laws, Sabah's specific regulations are designed to cater to its unique context and objectives. The criteria used to attract residents are tailored to local needs and circumstances, which sometimes might not completely mirror the federal act but are still within the legal framework. However, we do understand the concern about application approvals. Prospective residents should thoroughly understand both state and federal requirements to ensure a smooth application process. Consulting with local authorities or legal experts can also provide clarity and help mitigate any risks associated with the application process. I hope this clarifies your concern. If you have more questions or need further information, feel free to ask!
Sabah Philippines
Sabah is a state in Malaysia, located on the northern part of the island of Borneo. It has a rich cultural heritage and diverse natural attractions that make it a popular destination for tourists.
The malaysian policy makers think investors are as dumb as them.
But, don't you think the need for Sabah MM2H visa holders to obtain travel permission to visit West Malaysia - will slow the numbers of applicants? CNA article - "In response to a follow-up question by CNA, Ms Liew said Sabah-MM2H holders need “approval” before travelling to West Malaysia. When asked to clarify, she only said that holders first need to apply to Sabah’s immigration authority for approval. It remains unclear if or how this will be enforced, especially as domestic travel from East Malaysia to West Malaysia is generally unrestricted."
Thank you for your comment and for bringing up the concern regarding the travel permission requirement for Sabah MM2H visa holders. It's understandable to be worried about how this might affect the number of applicants. According to the CNA article, it appears that Sabah MM2H holders need to obtain approval from Sabah's immigration authority before traveling to West Malaysia. While this requirement might seem like a potential hurdle, it's important to note that the specifics of how this will be enforced are still unclear. Domestic travel from East Malaysia to West Malaysia is generally unrestricted, so it's possible that the process for obtaining approval might be straightforward and not overly burdensome. Ultimately, the impact on the number of applicants will depend on how the authorities implement and communicate these requirements.
@@OfficialMM2HResources It is very unclear-it is not mentioned in the official document relating to the Sabah MM2H program. If the immigration department denies approval or makes it less favourable compared to a tourist, it makes no sense.
@@tinglestingles You raise a valid point about the clarity and potential implications of the travel permission requirement for Sabah MM2H visa holders. It's true that the official documents relating to the Sabah MM2H program do not explicitly mention this requirement, which adds to the confusion. If the immigration department were to deny approval or impose more stringent conditions on MM2H holders, it would indeed be counterintuitive and could discourage applicants. Let's hope that the relevant authorities provide more concrete details soon to clear up any misunderstandings and ensure the program remains attractive and fair for all participants.

Only stupid invest in devalue ringgit assets. Do you know why the Australians retire in Indonesia not Malaysia ?
Thank you for sharing your opinion. Investment decisions can be influenced by a variety of factors, including personal financial goals, economic conditions, and lifestyle preferences. While some Australians may choose to retire in Indonesia for reasons such as cost of living or personal preferences, many others find Malaysia to be an attractive destination for retirement due to its diverse culture, modern amenities, and the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program. It's important for each individual to thoroughly research and consider their options based on their unique circumstances.

The Rm40K agent fee is really OTT
I understand your concern about the RM40K agent fee. It does seem quite high compared to other costs associated with the program. This fee can be a significant barrier for potential applicants, especially when combined with the already substantial financial requirements. It might be helpful for authorities to review and possibly lower these fees to make the program more accessible. Transparency about what these fees cover and ensuring they provide real value to applicants could also help justify the costs. Constructive feedback like yours is essential in making the MM2H program more attractive and equitable.
Mm2h's real name is actually MUPS ie Malaysia Unsold Property Scheme. 😂😂
I understand the skepticism. The new MM2H program has indeed raised its financial requirements and includes a mandatory property purchase, which some see as a way to address unsold properties. However, it's also part of a broader strategy to attract higher-net-worth individuals and ensure their significant economic contribution. While the name 'Malaysia Unsold Property Scheme' might reflect one perspective, the program still offers many benefits, such as a lower cost of living, diverse culture, and strategic location in Southeast Asia. It's essential to weigh all factors before forming an opinion. Constructive criticism is valuable, but it’s also important to recognize the potential benefits for those who fit the program’s new target demographic.
Interest can increase 900% by just letting anyone come in and stay without any requirements whatsoever.
While allowing anyone to come in without requirements might seem like an easy way to boost interest, it's important to consider the potential consequences. The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program has specific requirements, including financial deposits and property purchase obligations, to ensure that participants contribute positively to the local economy. These measures help maintain the quality and sustainability of the program, which ultimately benefits both the participants and the country. Relaxing these requirements could lead to unintended economic and social challenges.
Long term retirees bring more benefits to the economy than short term tourists. So the program should be designed to attract a few hundred thousand retirees.
You make a valid point. Long-term retirees can indeed provide steady economic benefits through consistent spending on housing, healthcare, and daily living expenses. Programs like MM2H should consider balancing the attraction of high-net-worth individuals with incentives for retirees who can contribute to the local economy over a long period. By designing a program that caters to both demographics, Malaysia could maximize its economic benefits while offering diverse options for potential residents. Enhancing the attractiveness for retirees, such as by providing more flexible financial requirements, could help bring in a larger number of retirees who will invest in the community for years to come.
@@OfficialMM2HResources Correct. Many retirees will improve the rental market and make property investment more attractive to foreigners and locals. Work with market forces not artificial requirements that are not attractive and cannot compete with other countries. If high net worth individuals come, they will naturally want to buy big houses and cars, have expensive meals etc. You cannot force retirees to comply with requirements that chase the majority away. Cheers.
watfor MM2H programme laa...just marry the everwilling females of Malaysia or just flash UNHCR card....
Thank you for your comment. The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program is designed to provide long-term visas for those who wish to live in Malaysia and enjoy its benefits. While your suggestions are noted, it’s important to approach residency in any country through legal and respectful means. The MM2H program offers a structured and legitimate way for people to experience living in Malaysia, contributing positively to the community and economy.
MM2H was for Retirement BUT now you are pushing them TO PURCHASE a PROPERTY Most of the people were 65+ years old, how many years LEFT to LIVE to make it worth for $300,000 ??????? I hope Sarawak will stand its ground!
Malaysia doesn't want poor retirees. If they can't afford a USD300k home, that's pretty poor.
@@dashong8912 The rent is dirt cheap anyway. Why would I waste 300k on a worthless property in a poor muslim country?
@@JohnSmith-ps7hf It's ok. You're not the type they want anyway.
@@JohnSmith-ps7hf It's ok. Don't think you are the type they want anyway.
For those concerned about the investment aspect, it's crucial to weigh the benefits of living in Malaysia against the costs involved. Sarawak, with its own version of the MM2H program, offers additional flexibility that may better suit some retirees.
Great to hear that. In fact should let mm2h ban forever. Why letting foreigners keep pouring into Malaysia?? Is it ecause Malaysia is CHEAP in everything? To own the properties and erase locals people? To enjoy all subsidies by the Malaysian government? To proof foreigners much more smarter than Malaysian in term of competitiveness skills? What else??
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program is designed to attract foreigners who wish to reside in Malaysia for extended periods, contributing to the local economy through property investments and spending. Here are a few points to consider: Economic Contribution: MM2H participants often bring substantial financial resources, which can stimulate various sectors, including real estate, tourism, and services, benefiting local businesses and creating job opportunities for Malaysians. Property Ownership: There are specific regulations to ensure that MM2H participants do not adversely impact the local housing market. For example, there are minimum property price thresholds they must meet, which are often higher than those required for local buyers. Government Subsidies: MM2H participants do not have access to most government subsidies intended for Malaysians, such as healthcare and education subsidies. They are required to have private health insurance and pay for their own children's education. Cultural Exchange and Skills: The program encourages cultural exchange and can bring diverse skills and knowledge that can complement the local workforce, potentially leading to collaborative growth and development. Regulated Entry: The government regulates the number and profile of MM2H applicants to ensure that the program aligns with Malaysia's national interests and economic goals.
Who would buy their worthless properties and keep it for 10 years? Most old folks won't live that long on earth anyway.
This is MM2H, buying a property is normal. This is a residency program, not a house rental program. Malaysia now wants to attract those who have net worth between US$2m - US$5m so I guess mainly targeting Asians. If you want a high level living, then you have to pay more. Look at HK, their requirements are 10x higher and even smaller space to live.

@@JohnSmith-ps7hf First of all, it's not a muslim country or poor. It's a multi-cultural secular country and a GDP per capita (PPP) of $40,000, it's even richer than some European countries not to mention most of its neighbors in ASEAN. Secondly, you are exactly the type who Malaysia don't welcome and you can't afford to stay here anyway. So, kudos to the mm2h program. Btw, many Asians can afford it just not poor you. So, have a good day.

Unless, the government change and find alternative. Other asian countries also trying attracts pro foreigners to comes to their countries.
Thank you for your comment. It's true that many Asian countries are competing to attract foreign talent and investment through various residency and visa programs. Each country tailors its programs to suit its unique economic goals and cultural contexts. Malaysia’s MM2H program is one such initiative aimed at boosting economic growth, enhancing cultural exchange, and promoting international relations. While it's understandable to consider the need for alternatives or improvements
An epic failure as it wasn’t well planned. Investors are not dumb as there are far better options in the region.😂
C'mon what do you expect from a 3rd world country!?
Thank you for your feedback. It's true that the MM2H program has faced challenges and criticism. However, the recent updates aim to address some of these issues by encouraging greater economic contribution from participants through property investments and other financial requirements. While other options in the region may seem more attractive, Malaysia offers unique benefits such as a lower cost of living, diverse cultural experiences, and a strategic location in Southeast Asia. Every program has its pros and cons, and it's important for potential investors to consider all factors before making a decision.
@@OfficialMM2HResources The heavy burden of buying a house and keeping it for 10 years will cancel out most of the benefits including Malaysia low cost advantage. When application drops by 90%, it is already on the wrong track. Cheers.
A country just about the slide in to the deep dark abyss of conservative Islam full of racial issues is not a country to invest in for a fixed, extended period. As with anything the government does, you have to wonder if this is racism or just the usual incompetence.
Thank you for your comment. It's important to address concerns thoughtfully and provide a balanced perspective. Malaysia, like any other country, has its complexities and challenges. Issues related to race, religion, and politics are present in many societies and are often deeply rooted in historical and cultural contexts. Despite these challenges, Malaysia has significant economic potential. Its strategic location, rich cultural heritage, and developing infrastructure make it an attractive destination for many investors and expatriates. The Malaysian government continues to make efforts to improve the country’s investment climate and address socio-economic issues. Programs like MM2H are part of these efforts to attract foreign investment and talent. Malaysia is known for its multicultural society, where people of different races and religions coexist. This diversity can be a strength, contributing to a vibrant culture and economy.
