The Ministry of Tourism Malaysia and the Immigration Department of
Malaysia.
Do I need to be in Malaysia for the application of the MM2H program?
No, you do not have to be present in Malaysia at the time of submission
and during the processing period of the MM2H application. We as your
MM2H agent will take care of all matters arising during this time; We
will complete the application with close follow-ups. As soon as we
obtain the MM2H Conditional Approval Letter from the Immigration of
Malaysia, you (spouse and dependents, if applicable) will then make

Malaysia to receive the renewals or extension of the MM2H visa
endorsements from the Immigration of Malaysia.
Can I use my existing non-cash assets in Malaysia to fulfill the MM2H
condition?

stated in the Conditional Approval Letter by the Immigration of
Malaysia. However, we strongly advise you to include whatever assets you
have in Malaysia or elsewhere as your supporting financial documents
when you make your MM2H application.
How long does it take for my MM2H application to be processed and
approved?
As of Dec 2011, the processing and approval process takes 9 to 11 weeks

What do you advise me on improving my chances of MM2H approval?
In order to receive MM2H approval, you must show that you have a strong
financial background by providing asset statements, bank statements and
proof of income. Meeting the minimum financial figures will not
guarantee the MM2H Approval. We would advise applicants to submit higher
financial figures if possible.
What were the main reasons applications were being rejected?
MM2H declined applications are due to the failure in showing proof of
strong financial status. In addition, applicants who submit applications
with incomplete documents and failure to submit the required Letter of
Good Conduct which are acceptable by the Immigration Malaysia would be
declined accordingly.
If I have been staying in Malaysia for years, can I apply for MM2HP?
Yes, provided you have a valid Social Visa at the point of application
and are able to fulfill all the requirements of MM2H conditions. The
application can be done by the MM2H Agent while you are in Malaysia.

We would strongly advise you to pay a visit to Malaysia for a
familiarization trip so that you can see the country personally and to
evaluate the advantages of living or retiring in Malaysia.
How can
I complete the required medical check-up and what type of medical
insurance policy should I purchase?

purchase the required medical insurance; you will have to pay to the
