Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme is a programme tailored to foreigners who wish to stay in Malaysia for a long period of time (10-year visa). A large number of foreigners who used to work in Malaysia have already applied for this programme for their retirement in Malaysia.
Before putting in an application, foreigners below 50 years of age are required to prepare a minimum of RM500,000 in their Savings Account / Current Account / Fixed Deposit whereas those aged above 50 years of age need to have at least RM350,000 in similar accounts.
Despite the relatively high requirement, one clear advantage is that MM2H gives foreigners access to property with lower value.
The table below, taken from iProperty, shows the lowest value of property foreigners can buy with/without MM2H:
