Malaysia My Second Home Program Updated and RebrandedThe Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program, endorsed by the Malaysian Government, was introduced in 2002 to attract foreigners to make Malaysia as their second or holiday home.The program is open to all foreigners, irrespective of their age. Participants who meet the program's requirements are given a Social Visit Pass with multiple-entry visa from the Malaysian Immigration Department, valid for 10 years and renewable thereafter. MM2H participants enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving Malaysia as they wish as well as other incentives. The Re-branding of Malaysia My Second Home The re-branding of the Malaysia My Second Home program is an effort undertaken by the Ministry of Tourism with the aim of making the MM2H program more attractive and effective. The new direction of the program is to attract not only foreigners looking to stay long-term or retire in Malaysia, but also high net-worth individuals looking to invest in Malaysia, either by setting up their business here or by partnering with local entrepreneurs. In this bid to re-brand the program as an economic and investment generating initiative, several policies within the program have been enhanced: • Qualified MM2H participants aged 50 and above with specialized skills and expertise that are required in the critical sectors of the economy are allowed to work, subject to the approval of the Expatriate Committee • MM2H participants are now encouraged to invest and actively participate in business in the various sectors of the economy • Foreign spouses of Malaysian nationals are also given the option to stay in Malaysia under the MM2H program or the Spouse Program. • The ten-year Social Visit Pass is extended to all Silver Hair and MM2H participants who were previously approved under the five-year Social Visit Pass. • Employment Pass holders who wish to participate in the MM2H program are exempted from the ‘six months cooling off period' after the expiry of the Employment Pass. • ID-Cards will be issued to MM2H participants with permanent address in Malaysia. • Age limit of unmarried dependent children is raised from 18 years to 21 years. In addition, administrative improvements have also been made. These include: • Setting up of a fully functional one-stop MM2H Center • Providing the option to apply directly without the need to go through a licensed agent • Developing the MM2H eligibility and application system These new enhancements will not only benefit MM2H participants, but also Malaysia as a whole with additional income generation and transfer of knowledge, skills and experience.
