After approval of the application, all applicants and their dependents (spouse and children) must submit a medical report. This medical report should be obtained from any approved private hospital or registered clinic in Malaysia.

Restrictions

Participants under Malaysia My Second Home Programme are not allowed to be employed while staying in Malaysia except for Platinum tier. In addition, they should not participate in activities that can be considered as sensitive to the local people and a threat to the security of the country.

Medical Insurance

After approval of the application, all applicants and their dependents (spouse and children) must possess and be covered by a valid medical insurance policy which is applicable in Malaysia. This requirement is waived, i.e. not necessary, for applicants above 59 years of age.

Fixed deposit accounts for MM2H requirements may be opened in USD or MYR, and the currency is fixed once the deposit has been placed.
The Ministry of Tourism must grant approval to a participant who wishes to withdraw from the Fixed Deposit.
Should a participant of this programme wish to terminate their stay in Malaysia, they may withdraw their entire Fixed Deposit. However, the Ministry of Tourism must grant approval prior to withdrawal. They may also sell or keep their property after termination.
