Understand MM2H before deciding.
MM2H is a long-term social visit pass programme for eligible foreign nationals. It differs from permanent residence, citizenship and work permission. Review the applicable category, dependants and permitted activities for your circumstances. SL coordinates the consultation and supporting needs; an appointed licensed MM2H company handles the formal application.

Confirm SEZ/SFZ property against Johor acquisition policy and the applicable development conditions, with purchase directly from the developer. Silver, Gold and Platinum generally require a principal aged at least 25; SEZ/SFZ begins at 21.

MM2H application: key questions answered.
Can every MM2H category work or conduct business?
No. Official guidance permits work, business and investment activities only for Platinum under the applicable laws. Silver, Gold and SEZ/SFZ do not permit these activities; review a relevant alternative pass.
Must participants aged 50+ stay 90 days each year?
The official category comparison and guidelines state no minimum stay for ages 50+. Below 50, the cumulative 90-day requirement applies under the relevant conditions.
Can SEZ/SFZ property be resold immediately?
No. The official SEZ terms also list a 10-year resale restriction. A blank in the guide does not establish an exemption. Confirm the particular property and upgrade conditions.
Is the agency fee the entire application cost?
No. Separate the deposit, property, government participation and processing fees, pass/visa charges, medical/insurance costs and other third-party expenses. Confirm agency fees in the formal quotation.
Is 60–90 working days guaranteed?
No. This is a processing estimate from the application guide. Actual timing depends on the authorities, complete documents, further requests and the case.
Which dependants can be included?
Review a spouse, children, parents and parents-in-law under the applicable conditions. Children aged 21–34 must remain unmarried and unemployed in Malaysia, with separate disability provisions. The licensed operator confirms eligibility and evidence.
