The MM2H Application Process

How Long is the Process?

The official time frame for approval (or decline) is 120 days after submission. However the MM2H department is currently facing a serious backlog and it is taking much longer.

The Process

Applications can be submitted while the applicant is in Malaysia or from overseas. Once the committee reviews the documents and approves the application, they will issue a letter of ‘Conditional Approval’. At this time the applicant has six months to complete the remaining conditions (obtain medical insurance, complete the medical examination and open the fixed deposit) and collect the visa.

Document Submission

You are required to provide complete documents for the application process, some at the time of original submission and others after receiving the letter of conditional approval. The required documents are as per link below:

IMPORTANT NOTE:

  • The covering letter of application should state the names of all people who are applying with you, how you will support yourself in Malaysia and which financial criteria you wish to use.
  • Once the application is approved you will be issued a conditional approval letter which can be presented to any bank in Malaysia to open an account.
  • Where certified true copies of documents are requested, they must be countersigned by the Malaysian Embassy or High Commission in your home country or the country that you are currently residing in, or by a lawyer in Malaysia.
