The Malaysia My Second Home Programme offers non Malaysians a ten year renewable visa and various other privileges which are explained in this website. So far some 10,000 people have been approved and it is generating a lot of interest. The programme is primarily attracting people who wish to retire in Malaysia or spend extended periods here.

This website details the reasons people tell us they enjoy living in Malaysia which includes the low cost of living, developed infrastructure, friendly Malaysians, attractive tourist destinations and general quality of life. For those with children there are some excellent international schools.

We organise an annual exhibition targeting resident expats and people interested in living in Malaysia. Called The Expat Expo , it provides valuable information about Malaysia.

This year it will take place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on September 20 th and 21 st. You can find out more at www.expatexpo.com.my.

We endeavour to provide impartial and reliable advice to anyone interested in the programme. There is no charge for using our online Help Desk. In some cases we are paid commissions by the suppliers we recommend but we select them based on their reputation and reliability and will remove any supplier who is the subject of valid complaints. In all cases we insist that their charges are in line with the market and in many cases they offer better value.

Effective June 1st 2007 all applicants for MM2H are required to use an approved agent. They can be identified because they have “(MM2H)” in the company name. We are an approved agent and can assist. You do not have to come to Malaysia to make the application for a MM2H visa. We can help you prepare the application, submit it on your behalf and track progress. This includes handling any questions raised by the government. Once it is approved, you will receive a letter of conditional approval. This sets out any remaining conditions to be fulfilled. We help you comply with these and then drive you out to the immigration offices to have the visa stamped in your passport. We will also help with any other questions or problems you may have.

We have launched a club for people living here under the programme. Called the MM2H Group , it offers members special rates on products and services, advice and assistance, as well a chance to meet other people living here.

We welcome feedback from visitors to this site, and we hope that you find it useful. If you register ( click here) we will send you our periodic MM2H Newsletter with updates you on programme and any other news, which we think may be of interest to you.
