What Is MM2H Silver?
MM2H Silver is a federal Malaysia My Second Home category with a USD150,000 fixed deposit requirement, RM1,000 one-off participating fee, RM600,000 minimum residence purchase requirement, and a 5-year renewable MM2H pass.
Silver may be suitable for retirees, families, and long-stay applicants who want to begin with the lowest fixed deposit requirement among the main federal MM2H categories. Applicants should still plan carefully because the property purchase condition, minimum stay requirement, medical check-up, and renewal conditions remain important.
