Sabah Malaysia My Second Home (Sabah-MM2H) Program: A Long-Term Residency Pathway for the Whole Family in Paradise

15/04/2025
The Sabah Malaysia My Second Home (Sabah-MM2H) program is a long-term residency scheme offering a stay duration of 5 to 20 years. Designed for foreign nationals looking to live, retire, or invest in Sabah, the program offers a flexible and family-friendly route to securing a second home in this beautiful and vibrant state. This program extends to the entire family under a single application, including your spouse, unmarried children under the age of 21, as well as your parents and parents-in-law as dependents.

Why Choose Sabah?

Kota Kinabalu, the capital city of Sabah, is rapidly gaining global attention as one of Southeast Asia’s most attractive lifestyle and investment destinations. Located just under 3 hours from Hong Kong, it is easily accessible via Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA), with direct flights to major regional hubs such as Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.

With property prices at just one-tenth of Hong Kong’s and a cost of living around 50% lower, Sabah presents unbeatable value for individuals and families seeking an affordable yet luxurious lifestyle abroad.

Life in Sabah is enriched by:

  • Breathtaking natural beauty: From lush rainforests to idyllic islands and majestic Mount Kinabalu, the tallest peak in Southeast Asia.
  • World-class leisure: Enjoy scuba diving in Sipadan, yachting at Sutera Harbour Marina & Country Club, golfing at international-standard courses, and birdwatching with over 600 recorded species.
  • An active, healthy lifestyle: Year-round outdoor activities such as hiking, snorkeling, and cycling are part of everyday life.
