New mm2h details for Malaysia are out. So far, there is no mention of income requirements, which was the sticky part for me. Could be a good option.


KUALA LUMPUR: Tourism, Arts, and Culture (Motac) Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing today announced the relaxation of the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme, introducing three new categories.

The revision opens the MM2H programme to people aged 30 years and above, with applications to be processed exclusively through licensed MM2H agents authorised by the Tourism, Arts, and Culture Ministry under the Tourism Industry Act 1992.

The programme is now divided into three categories: Platinum, Gold, and Silver, each with its own set of requirements.

Here is the breakdown of the categories:

PLATINUM


In the Platinum category, MM2H applicants must meet specific financial prerequisites, including a fixed deposit of RM5 million (USD1.05 million).

Applicants can withdraw a maximum of 50 per cent of the amount after a year to purchase properties valued at RM1.5 million and above, for healthcare, and for tourism activities in the country.

Platinum applicants must reside in Malaysia for a cumulative total of at least 60 days a year.

For those aged 30 to 49 years old, their residence in the country must be fulfilled by their principal, partners, or their dependents respectively.

This category of MM2H applicants is also eligible to apply for Permanent Resident (PR) status after obtaining their Platinum pass.

This MM2H programme is apparently targetting bahasa malaysia readers/speakers (at least from the Facebook ads).

It reminds me the Thai immigration website where 80% of the content is in Thai language.

Should be a south-east asian "we are the centre of the world" thing.

"We want your money, go figure out how to give it to us! Don't wait too long tho, we might change the deal (we will still change it anyway even if you're already in)..."

Every visa program in SEA
 
Does fixed deposit mean a bank investment fund with profit rates? For example, $1mil deposit for 3 years and earn 2% APR? Or is it more like, “Malaysia govt, hold my money hostage for free?”
Normal bank deposit. Whatever rate you negotiate with the bank. But to withdraw the deposit you need letter from the government. Interest is paid yearly to any other account (so interest is not locked with the deposit)
