The MM2H, or Malaysia My Second Home, visa programme is a programme to encourage foreigners from all over the world who fulfil specific criteria to live in Malaysia.
It’s a long-term social visit pass that allows holders multiple entries for ten years. It can be renewed if you meet all the requirements.
You may stay as long as you wish and leave anytime you want to.
Take note that the duration of the MM2H visa will depend on the validity of your passport. If your passport is only valid for three years, you will only be granted an MM2H for three years. It is best to renew your passport before you apply for an MM2H visa.
The scheme was initially proposed by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, MOTAC, and is now overseen by the Immigration Department of the Home Affairs Ministry to promote positive immigration to the country. MOTAC is still responsible for promoting the Malaysia my second home programme.
Bear in mind, this is not a permanent residence permit, and it’s not a direct pathway to permanent residency. Applying for permanent residency is a lengthy and complicated process.
You may, however, apply for permanent residency after a certain period in Malaysia under the MM2H.

Malaysia is divided into two non-contiguous regions: West Malaysia on the Malay Peninsula (11 states) and East Malaysia on the island of Borneo (two states). Since Malaysia's independence in 1957, the sultans, who are the hereditary kings of nine of the country's 13 states, have chosen one of themselves to serve a five-year term as king. In Malaysia, the king's role is mostly ceremonial, with the federal Parliament and the prime minister exercising executive authority.
