In 2024, the Malaysian government completely overhauled the MM2H program, introducing a three-tier system to attract varying levels of investment. These changes are fully in effect for 2026. The program now emphasizes active economic contribution through fixed deposits and mandatory property ownership.
The Three Investment Tiers
Platinum Tier
Fixed deposit of RM 5 million. Grants permanent residency (PR) eligibility. Mandatory property purchase of RM 2 million or more.
Gold Tier
Fixed deposit of RM 2 million. 15-year renewable visa. Mandatory property purchase of RM 1 million or more.
Silver Tier
Fixed deposit of RM 500,000. 5-year renewable visa. Mandatory property purchase of RM 600,000 or more.
Key Operational Rules
Applicants must be at least 30 years old. Dependants (spouse, children under 34, and parents) are allowed. One major change is that you can now withdraw up to 50% of your fixed deposit after one year for specific uses: property purchase, healthcare, or education in Malaysia. However, you must maintain the remaining 50% balance throughout your stay.
