Learn how Sabah MM2H differs from federal Malaysia My Second Home and whether it may fit your long-term stay plans.
Sabah MM2H is a state-level Malaysia My Second Home programme administered in Sabah. It is designed for eligible foreigners who want to establish long-term residence in Sabah, Malaysia Borneo. HH MM2H focuses on the federal MM2H programme. We do not directly handle Sabah MM2H applications, but we can explain the differences and refer suitable applicants to a licensed partner agent where appropriate.
Sabah MM2H is a separate state-level programme from federal MM2H. It has its own terms, categories, property conditions, stay requirement, and licensed-agent submission process.
Sabah MM2H is administered by Sabah's Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment. Applicants must submit through a licensed agent. Sabah MM2H requires property purchase in Sabah. The programme has Silver, Gold, and Platinum categories. Minimum stay is generally 30 days per year in Sabah. Sabah MM2H participants can only reside in Sabah under the Sabah MM2H arrangement. Travel to Peninsular Malaysia may require Immigration approval according to Sabah MM2H information.
Silver: Minimum age 25, RM500,000 fixed deposit, RM600,000 minimum high-rise property in Sabah, 5+5 years pass structure. Gold: Minimum age 25, USD500,000 fixed deposit, RM1,000,000 minimum residence in Sabah, 15-year renewable pass. Platinum: Minimum age 25, USD1 million fixed deposit, RM2,000,000 minimum residence in Sabah, 20-year renewable pass, career opportunities permissible according to current Sabah information. This is a general summary. Applicants should confirm the latest official Sabah MM2H conditions before deciding.
Federal MM2H and Sabah MM2H should be compared carefully. The best pathway depends on whether the applicant wants to reside generally in Malaysia under federal MM2H or specifically in Sabah under the Sabah programme. Applicants should compare: where they intend to live, property purchase plan, fixed deposit amount, pass validity, stay requirement, family and dependent needs, agent arrangement, and travel and residence conditions.
