Example case: Applying for Malaysia My Second Home with parents included

Summary

Illustrative scenario: Mr Lau (pseudonym) and the MM2H. He wanted a place in Southeast Asia where three generations could live.

This is an illustrative scenario: the people and details are for explanation only and are not a real client case. Every family’s outcome depends on its background and the policies in force at the time.

Background

Mr Lau (pseudonym), Hong Kong, wife, two children and his parents. He wanted a place in Southeast Asia where three generations could live.

Main concern

He worried about the different home-purchase thresholds in each state.

Our approach

He chose the Gold tier and bought a qualifying home in Penang according to the state’s threshold.

Process and outcome

He received 15-year residence, and the three generations divide their time between two homes.

Adviser’s comment

MM2H can include parents — one of the few programmes suited to three generations.

MM2H application process

  1. Assessment and tier choice (1–2 weeks): Choose the tier and state that suit your family.
  2. Application (Several months): Submit through a licensed agent and pass the checks.
  3. Conditional approval and entry (After approval): Enter Malaysia to open the fixed deposit, complete the medical and arrange insurance.
  4. Home purchase and pass (Within 12 months): Buy a qualifying home and collect your multiple-entry pass.

FAQ

Is MM2H permanent residence?

No. MM2H is a renewable long-term Social Visit Pass, not permanent residence, and does not lead directly to citizenship.

Can I use the fixed deposit?

After approval you can generally withdraw part of the deposit for purposes such as buying a home, healthcare or education in Malaysia, under the latest rules.

Can my parents be included?

Yes. MM2H can cover your spouse, unmarried children, and your or your spouse’s parents.
