Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work with MM2H?

Not directly. However, you can establish a business or apply for a separate work permit.

Which tier is right?

Platinum (MYR 500,000 deposit) for most applicants. Gold (MYR 1M) offers additional benefits like higher property limits.

What is life like in Malaysia as an MM2H holder?

Malaysia offers high quality of life at low costs. Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru are popular residences. The English-speaking population, excellent healthcare, and good international schools make Malaysia particularly attractive for families.

What taxes will I pay in Malaysia?

Malaysia levies income tax on income from Malaysian sources. Since 2022, foreign income remitted to Malaysia may be taxable. For MM2H holders with exclusively foreign income, Strasia recommends individual tax advice.

Can my family come along?

Yes, your spouse and children can be included as dependants in the MM2H program. Children under 21 can be included.

What is the path to Permanent Residency?

The MM2H program is not a direct path to PR. PR must be applied for separately and depends on various factors. However, MM2H provides a stable long-term residence right.
