Background
Ms Chou, from Taipei, applied with her husband and one child. She wanted to live in Malaysia long term.
Main concern
She didn’t know home-purchase thresholds differ by state.
Our approach
We pointed out Kuala Lumpur’s threshold is higher than the tier requires, and after comparing, she chose to buy in Penang.
Process and outcome
She was approved at Silver in about 4 months and bought a home in Penang.
Adviser’s comment
MM2H requires meeting both the tier and the state threshold; the wrong location can mean the wrong property.
MM2H application process
- Assessment and tier choice (1–2 weeks): Choose the tier and state that suit your family.
- Application (Several months): Submit through a licensed agent and pass the checks.
- Conditional approval and entry (After approval): Enter Malaysia to open the fixed deposit, complete the medical and arrange insurance.
- Home purchase and pass (Within 12 months): Buy a qualifying home and collect your multiple-entry pass.
