There are many myths and misconceptions about the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme. Let’s debunk 5 of the most common myths.
Myth 1: MM2H is Only for Retirees
Fact: While MM2H is popular among retirees, the programme is open to all individuals aged 35 and above (National) or 30 and above (Sabah & Sarawak), including young professionals, investors, and entrepreneurs.
Myth 2: MM2H Leads to Permanent Residency
Fact: MM2H is a long-term visa (social visit pass), NOT a pathway to Permanent Residency (PR) or citizenship.
Myth 3: You Must Buy Property
Fact: Property purchase is MANDATORY for National MM2H, but NOT REQUIRED for Sarawak MM2H. Sabah MM2H has flexible options.
Myth 4: You Cannot Work in Malaysia
Fact: Platinum tier holders of National MM2H are allowed to work. Sarawak MM2H allows part-time work in professional sectors.
Myth 5: The Application Process is Very Complicated
Fact: With the help of a licensed agent, the application process becomes much easier and more manageable.
