MM2H Statistics

APPROVED MM2H VISA APPLICATIONS
The figures below show the number of primary applicants approved. In many cases the applicants have spouses and some come with children.
The information comes from the government sources. In 2018 the backlog in processing applications began, which is reflected in the final approved numbers. The figures for 2019 have not been formally released.
Although the Chinese have the highest number of approved visas it is believed only a few actually relocated here. Many applied because of the problems in getting a visa to visit Malaysia. Most older Japanese like to take extended overseas holidays so many of them also applied as they wanted to be able to stay here for several months without any visa problems.
