Full requirements, side by side
Appoint a Licensed MM2H Agent
Under the 2024 MM2H policy, every application must go through an agency licensed by MOTAC - self-submission ("DIY") is not accepted. Choosing the right agent is the one decision that shapes the rest of your application.
Wanda (MM2H) Sdn Bhd was founded in 2019 by Malaysian professionals with decades of combined experience across financial services, property, healthcare, education and international trade - the exact areas MM2H applicants need guidance in.
We are appointed by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) to handle MM2H applications on behalf of international applicants, and our consultants support you end-to-end: banking and fixed deposits, property selection, medical clearances, children's education and corporate setup.
NEVER pass personal data or documents to any unlicensed "middleman" or "runner" claiming to represent a licensed MM2H agent. ALWAYS ask to see the appointment letter or MM2H license first.
Prepare Your MM2H Documents
Seven document sets, all originating from your home country's government authorities. Tap any item for the full requirements.
All duplicate copies of marriage/divorce certificate, birth certificate and kinship certificate MUST be translated into ENGLISH (if the original certificate is in any other foreign language), attested / certified by the respective Government authority of their country of origin.
- Double certification is required for non-English certificates from certain countries.
- Spouse - Marriage Certificate
- Children under 21 - Birth or Adoption Certificate
- Children aged 21-34 - Birth/Adoption Certificate + Statutory Declaration (single and unemployed in Malaysia)
- Parents - main applicant's Birth Certificate
- Parents-in-law - spouse's Birth Certificate
- Double certification is required for non-English certificates from certain countries; a Kinship Certificate is sometimes accepted where no Birth Certificate exists.
- Salary slip (employed)
- Other income statement (business owners or retirees)

Contact our experienced MM2H Consultants for advice and guidelines on the application process details and contacts of the appropriate Government ministries, agencies or departments.
NEVER pass any important personal data and documents to any unlicensed or unauthorized “middleman” or “runner” who claims to represent or be a licensed MM2H agent. ALWAYS request to view the appointment letter or MM2H license to validate their identity of representation.
Submitting Your MM2H Application
One submission, two hand-ins: your agent uploads the digital set into the MM2H System, then delivers the physical originals to the OSC counter in Putrajaya - all within three working days.
Every document is scanned into PDF format and uploaded into the MM2H System (Portal) - only your appointed agent, with privileged access, can submit it.
We hand your original document sets to the MOTAC officer at the MM2H One Stop Centre counter on your behalf.
Acknowledgement & acceptance. The portal confirmation and your application reference are forwarded to you as soon as we receive them. Once the counter accepts the physical set, your file enters the approval workflow.

The application processing generally takes 3-4 months to generate the official MM2H Approval Letter (SKB).

MM2H Endorsement
You are given 90 days from the Date of Approval in your Conditional Approval Letter (SKB) to make a trip to Malaysia, if you are overseas.
If the applicants are overseas, they must plan for a trip (recommended at least a full week) to visit Malaysia to perform the pre-endorsement tasks and endorsement of their MM2H Visa/Pass. If possible, arrange for all successful dependents for endorsement in the same trip. “FLYING PASSPORTS” are strictly prohibited.
Plan your trip to Malaysia within the 90-day period from the Date of Approval Letter. Please discuss with us your preferred endorsement dates based on your schedule, and we MUST ensure that the appointment date for the endorsement day is still available in the MM2H OSC online booking system. Book your flight tickets to Malaysia.
If this is your first time visiting Malaysia, we can assist you in arranging accommodation and transportation upon your arrival.
Our MM2H consultants shall meet you at a place of your convenience or at our office on the second day of your arrival in Malaysia to discuss and prepare you for a smooth and successful Endorsement process.
Our MM2H consultants will accompany and guide you to perform the pre-endorsement tasks and prepare all the necessary documents according to the MOTAC Endorsement Document Checklist, as shown below.
The four pre-endorsement tasks
Open a tagged-LIEN bank account (Fixed Deposit, FD) with any Malaysia bank. Transfer/remit the category-specified fund amount (e.g. USD 150K for Silver) to the newly opened bank account.
Output Documents
Original LIEN Letter (MOTAC format) issued by the bank, attached with CTC copies of FD certificates. PLUS a Consent Letter signed by the Principal.
Perform the mandatory medical checkup in ANY government-recognized clinic, medical center or hospital in Malaysia, for principal and all dependents.
Output Documents
Signed and stamped MFII Form by the doctor.
Purchase medical/health insurance (at least 1 year) for applicants below 60 years old from any recognized insurance company in Malaysia.
Output Documents
Copies of insurance policy documents issued by your selected insurance company.
Purchase the personal bond and pay the stamp duty to LHDN (by your appointed MM2H agent).
Output Documents
Signed and stamp-duty-paid Personal Bond.
You do not need to queue in Putrajaya
We go on your behalf.
Your Approval Letter (Clause 3) states that “the Participants MUST BE PRESENT at the One Stop Centre, Malaysia My Second Home Centre (MM2H), Ministry of Tourism and Culture Malaysia, Level 1, No.2, Tower 1, Jalan P5/6, Presint 5, 62200 Putrajaya for the endorsements of the MM2H Social Visit Pass.” In practice, you and your dependents DO NOT need to be present at the OSC - as your appointed MM2H agent, we collect your original passports on the EVE of the Endorsement appointment date.
Passports back in about one working day.
We return them with the endorsed MM2H Pass/Visa stickers after processing at the OSC.
Occasional delays.
Unforeseen events such as technical/system problems, long public holidays, or excessive workloads at the Immigration Unit of OSC may stretch the endorsement processing beyond one working day.
One condition left - within 12 months
Purchase a residential property at or above your category’s minimum value, and submit a copy of the stamped Sales & Purchase Agreement (SPA) to MOTAC as evidence of fulfilling the mandatory condition - within 12 months from your date of endorsement. Output document: CTC copy of the residency SPA with LHDN stamping.
MM2H Renewal
Renewal only matters at the end of your pass’s maximum validity - and for every new-policy pass, that is still years away. Here is what it will look like when the time comes.
All NEW POLICY MM2H Pass holders are NOT required to renew their MM2H Pass/Visa until early 2029, when the first batch of new MM2H Passes issued in late 2024 or early 2025 come to the expiry term.
Renewal fee by category · principal only
Plus, for every participant in all categories: Pass Fee MYR 500/year (or MYR 2,500 for 5 years) · MEV Fee MYR 0 to MYR 50/year, depending on nationality.
Renewal vs Extension - not the same thing
You only RENEW your MM2H Pass upon the expiry of the maximum Pass/Visa validity period of your category. For instance, you do a RENEWAL after the maximum 5-year validity expiry of your MM2H SILVER Pass, or the 20-year validity expiry of your MM2H PLATINUM Pass.
If your passport has only 3 years left at the endorsement date, you receive a 3-year MM2H Pass sticker (Silver category). You then apply for an EXTENSION of another 2 years in the fourth year - the balance period of your maximum 5-year Visa for the Silver category.
