What is MM2H?
Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) is a Malaysian government programme for eligible foreign nationals seeking a longer stay in Malaysia. MOTAC publishes programme information and directs readers to its operator licence checks. Read MOTAC’s programme explanation (external website).
MM2H.org is a separate, independent publication. The similarity of our domain to the programme name does not make us an official portal. We do not accept applications, issue passes or represent the authorities.
Read the requirements in context
Before relying on a requirement, identify the exact programme or category, the issuing authority, the document date and who it applies to. A new application, a renewal and a dependant’s situation can raise different questions. Ask the relevant authority or an appropriately licensed operator to explain which document applies to your circumstances.
Our programme guides link to the relevant official sources. Where a guide includes published headline figures, it names the source and the check date. Detailed conditions and any conflicting guidance still need a current, document-level check. Treat screenshots and undated comparison charts as starting points for questions, rather than evidence of the rule in force.
Use our category comparison checklist to organise your reading.
A practical research sequence
- Open the official MOTAC programme page (external website) and identify the latest relevant terms.
- Save the document title, publication date and source URL in your notes.
- Write down uncertainties about your own circumstances before seeking clarification.
- Check an operator’s exact legal entity and current licence directly with MOTAC before appointing them.
- Request a written scope, fees, payment schedule and refund terms from any provider you consider.
- Plan everyday housing, health, schooling and transport separately from the application itself.
