Common questions
Everything about investing and living in Malaysia
Questions about the numbers? Here are the most common things people ask before making the move to Malaysia as an investor or long-term resident.
What is the minimum investment for the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) visa in 2026?
The investment depends on the tier you choose: Silver requires a USD 150,000 fixed deposit, Gold requires USD 500,000, and Platinum requires USD 1,000,000. Each tier also has a mandatory property purchase requirement ranging from RM 600,000 to RM 2 million.
Can I withdraw my fixed deposit after getting the visa?
Yes, after one year, you can typically withdraw up to 50% of the principal amount. However, this withdrawal is strictly limited to approved expenses such as purchasing property in Malaysia, healthcare costs, or children’s education.
What is the minimum property price a foreigner can buy in Malaysia?
While the general threshold is RM 1,000,000, it varies by state. For example, in Selangor, the minimum is RM 2,000,000 for most zones. However, under the 2026 MM2H Silver tier, participants may purchase residential property starting from RM 600,000 in specific areas.
Does the PVIP (Premium Visa) allow me to work in Malaysia?
Yes. Unlike the Silver and Gold MM2H tiers, the PVIP (and the MM2H Platinum tier) grants participants the right to work, own a business, and invest in local companies without needing a separate employment pass.
What are the stamp duty costs for foreign investors in 2026?
As of January 1, 2026, foreign buyers (non-citizens and foreign companies) are subject to a flat 8% stamp duty rate on residential property transfers, which is an increase from the previous 4% flat rate.
Are there any age restrictions for these investment visas?
For the standard MM2H tiers (Silver, Gold, Platinum), the minimum age is 25. For the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) category, the minimum age is lowered to 21. There is no upper age limit for any of the programs.
