Official-source digest

MM2H programme guide digest

Malaysia My Second Home is administered through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture with immigration outcomes under the Ministry of Home Affairs / Immigration Department. This digest tells you what to re-read on the official site — not a substitute PDF.

For applicants

What this means in practice

  • The current public programme presents named categories (including Platinum, Gold, Silver, and SEZ/SFZ as officially published) — each with its own criteria and benefits.
  • Applications are channelled through licensed MM2H tour operating companies and the MM2H One-Stop Centre — individual DIY filing is not the official path described on the portal.
  • Financial criteria, participating fees, stay-day rules, medicals, and any compulsory residence purchase conditions are category-specific and change — open the live overview/guidelines rather than memorising figures.
  • Working / business permissions differ by category on the official materials — do not assume MM2H equals Employment Pass rights.

Verify

Before you file or pay an agent

  • Open the category overview and guidelines on the official portal the day you instruct an agent.
  • Confirm your agent appears on the official licensed list (when published) and that OSC / immigration steps are clear for your case.
  • Separate property marketing from programme conditions — see also our property ≠ stay rights guide.
  • Compare MM2H with PVIP on purpose if you are high-net-worth long-stay — different instruments.
