Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Applications Status Update

08/07/2020

MM2H program to reopen with new updates

The MM2H program has been temporarily suspended sjnce March 2020 due to covid-19 period.

 

As there was high demand for the program, the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry previously responsible for handling program applications was not able to manage the large number of applications efficiently. Hence, the Malaysia government has decided to take this opportunity to transfer the responsibility to the Immigration Department, which is better suited for handling the program.

 

The government has announced that the program will be reopening again with new updates to the program – they will introduce two new MM2H streams: Retirement Program (RP) and Residence by Investment (RBI) – to better gear toward the program’s two main target audiences being retirees and investors.
