Short answer: Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) grants 5–20 years’ residence (Silver / Gold / Platinum) through a fixed deposit and home purchase, and can include parents. It is not permanent residence. Ages 25–49 generally need 90 days a year; age 50+ has no such requirement.
Tiers at a glance
| Tier | Term | Rough threshold direction |
|---|---|---|
| Silver | 5 years | Lower deposit and home thresholds |
| Gold | 15 years | Mid-range |
| Platinum | 20 years | Higher; work and business allowed |
Exact deposit, home price and each state’s foreigner minimum follow official and state rules.
Who it suits
- Three generations living in Southeast Asia
- Willing to buy a home in Malaysia
- Retirees aged 50+ who do not want a days requirement
- Platinum applicants who want to work or do business locally
Points to note
- MM2H is a renewable long-term Social Visit Pass, not PR.
- Minimum home prices for foreigners vary by state — higher in places such as Kuala Lumpur.
- Compared with Thailand Privilege / LTR, MM2H is more tied to deposit plus property.
