EDUCATION SERVICES
Many MM2H applicants choose Malaysia as their Second Home primarily for their children's education. Hence, the search for the most suitable international school — from pre-school, primary and secondary levels to college and university — based on their budget and preference.
EDUCATION
International Schools by State
Malaysia's universities and international schools, with English as the medium of instruction, are amongst the highest ranked in the Southeast Asian region — offering high quality education while being immersed in a diverse and multilingual environment.
Malaysia offers the best combination of cost and quality for English International Schools, for both IG and IB curriculum.
There are more than 200 international schools (licensed by the Malaysia Ministry of Higher Education) to choose from:
| State | Number of International Schools |
|---|---|
| Selangor | 100 schools |
| Kuala Lumpur | 36 schools |
| Johor | 32 schools |
| Penang | 12 schools |
| Negeri Sembilan | 8 schools |
| ...and more across Malaysia | 200+ schools in total |
We partner with experienced education specialists and school admission departments to assist you in your school search based on your budget and preference.
From initial consultation to school viewing and eventually successful enrolment into your school of choice, we are there to provide the necessary post-approval support.
Notes:
Most top, first-tier international schools in Malaysia only accept foreign (non-Malaysian) children who possess a long-term residency pass, as a pre-condition of enrolment. Your children's MM2H Dependent Pass (below 18 years old) fulfils this prerequisite. We also assist you to apply for the add-on Permission to Study stamping on top of your MM2H Dependent Pass for successful enrolment.

MM2H FAQ
Education
Schooling and education options for your children under MM2H.
Can I enrol my children in Malaysia's public schools?
NO. Public (government) schools are not open to foreigners under the new Ministry of Education policy. However, you can enrol your children in any private or international school in Malaysia.
Do I need a separate Student Pass for my children on MM2H Dependent Pass to enrol in international schools?
NO. With an MM2H Dependent Pass, children (below 18) can enrol in any international school, as it's accepted as a long-term pass. You only need to obtain an additional "Permission to Study" stamping from MOTAC on top of the Dependent Pass. Contact us for assistance.
Is there an advantage to enrolling in top international schools with the MM2H Dependent Pass?
YES. Most top-ranking international schools only accept foreign children who already hold a Malaysian long-term pass (MM2H, Employment, Residency or Diplomatic Pass) as a prerequisite. A short-term Social Visit Pass is not accepted for admission.
My child is turning 18 and entering Pre-U/A-Level or tertiary level — can they keep using the MM2H Dependent Pass?
Once a dependent turns 18 and receives an offer letter for Pre-U/A-Level/Diploma or tertiary study, they must cancel the existing MM2H Dependent Pass and have the school apply for a separate Student Pass via Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS). We can assist with the termination/shortening of the existing Dependent Pass. Contact us.
Do you provide recommendations or assistance to find a suitable international school?
YES. We offer Education Search Services as a supplementary service to our MM2H clients, during the pre-application stage or after relocating to Malaysia, to find a suitable international school for your children. Contact us for assistance.
