Very nice to hear they don't sell their precious citizinship like a cheap street hore. Glad to hear that Malaysia protect their society and culture by not letting everyone easily live there.

Yeah. Imagine if you, a Malaysian, went overseas & got charged double to visit the local zoo & tourist attractions because you are a Malaysian. You'd be screaming "racism." Well, that's what the Malaysian government does to tourists. As for encouraging mm2h retirees to buy homes in Malaysia & then deny them reentry to their own homes, that's just plain dishonest. Shifting the goalposts makes people distrust Malaysia.

​@@beverlyhills7883 U make me think the Malaysian government is so stupid aren't u.

@@beverlyhills7883A) two tier fees for locals and foreigners are common in many countries. So there is no issue there. B) noone is encouraging anyone to buy real estate in Malaysia. On the contrary, the RM1mil to RM2mil limit on what the foreigners are eligible to buy is designed to discourage such practice. If you are wary or simply cannot afford to take on some risks such as being denied entry, bank collapse, social chaos, the chances of which are quite remote by the way, may i be so bold as to suggest that you stay where you are ?

@@user-qc9rr9rq2t orang Malaysia bagus, hati besar. Tetapi government jahat, chari duit Macham Babi.

MM2H sales are down 90% from pre-health crisis levels. So yes, statistically speaking, Malaysia is in DECLINE.

You're mistaken. The information changed recently, and they still need to update their website. *Edited: I can not cite any websites; KZfaq no longer allows links to be posted in the comments.

Do you get interest on your FD? And what is a good website to buy property in Malaysia. I'm thinking of buying in Langkawi is there any minimum amount for buying property there? Also knowing that you can withdraw 50% after 1 year I think it's better to rent for 1 year and then buy property.

You seem to know a lot about MM2H program. Can you tell me more about that ? Is it interesting for people over 50 ? Thanks

Malaysia happily allows Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh & Myanmar. Really quality people, far superior to middle class mm2h retirees from the west.

@@flutingaround Nope, MM2H is not a immigration program.

​​​@@reyflaco1840Not that safe to me crime wise, extremely corrupt, people are very gossipy in the Philippines, dirty, the country as a whole is very unorganize. If you are doing business, good luck doing business there because everything is so corrupt. Foreign investors avoid The Philippines for a reason. FDI will much rather go to Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand & recently even Indonesia has increasingly become popular. The Philippines is stil unpopular among investors to this day eventhough they have one of the best English language proficiency in Asia, second only to Singapore. So the fact that they can speak good English and FDI is still low for decades, speaks volume of how terrible the corruption & bureaucracy is over there.

@@davidb2206 I never said the U.S is a safe country. I have lived there for 3 years. It's dangerous as hell. Lol. Definitely far more dangerous than Malaysia. But Mexico is even more dangerous than the US. At least in the US you don't have a cartel problem yet, in Mexico the cartel problem is out of control.

Thanks. I'll look into Sarawak MM2H. Are you a local/Malay? I have a question: What happens if govt. decides to freeze/ban MM2H visa? Where will existing visa holders go? It's like being a tenant, at the end of the day, you might need to go where you came from, even if you had spent many years there. How do people deal with this issue/challenge?

@lonewalker1595 Asian countries mostly do not allow dual citizenship and seldom provide citizenship. Foreigners can still enjoy the environment and low cost of living for a few years. At this moment in time the tourism ministry wanted to re-register agents. It can be a disadvantage because each agent has clientelle, I do not know what will happen if no license is given. Their business will be affected. This minister may want to streamline charges but it also can cause disruption to business. You still have expenses each month even when you go back to your own country, but countries in South east asia are cheaper. Obviously with mm2h, you need to invest. That is the purpose. You may want to study other types of visa eg education, work, investor etc etc.

Thank you, we appreciate it.

yes

no you don't from what i know, you just make renew application

Unlucky. Catholic/Christian interpret the Word correctly.

Its lower. I believe its 350k Ringgit

An MM2H Agent informed us it will still be announced, they also expect income requirements to be added. Suggest to wait for official announcement

​@@FrancoisTcan you give me more information about your MM2H agent ? Do you recommend him/her ?

and if bank collapses?

That's what you'd like to think. It's a half-truth! You always have much to worry about when you deposit with a bank. Malaysian Banks offer deposit insurance of up to RM 250,000. Please also consider inflation and depreciation of the local currency, and you'll see that you are looking at a much smaller annual return than you anticipated initially. Good luck trying to profit by depositing money into a local bank account. MM2H comes with a HIGH opportunity cost. There's a chance that Malaysia will get out of line again, prohibiting long-term social visit pass holders (MM2H holders) from entering the country. It might be an option if you have some good cash flow from your business or employment, savings, and assets, and you can afford to have hundreds of thousands locked up for years or more than a decade. This is all about your net worth, and under no circumstances should anyone consider locking up the majority of their money in Malaysia - DON'T DO IT! You shouldn't risk more than 20% of your net worth for a social visit pass.

Considering the selection of local and international banks the risk is no more than any country where you bank cash. Saying you should not “risk” more than 20% is a good balanced view but understand that cash in Malaysia carry similar risk to most other countries. The currency risk factor only holds true if you not planning to spend time and money in the country and then the real question should rather be if you doing this for the right reasons. Why should any country give you a free pass.

@@NomadElite Uhm I don't get it. No country on earth will provide 100% insurance coverage to depositors. Maybe I haven't read enough but I don't think there is a single country that allows you to do that. What do u expect to keep your money in the stock market or real estate? Sounds more risky to me. Like it or not you must save some money in the bank. As far as banks collapse and all, Bank Negara is known to be among the most strictest central banks in the world. Malaysian banks have healthy lending practice. Ever since the 1998 crisis Bank Negara has been very strict on lending practices. I am not saying that Malaysia could never have a banking crisis, we might in the future. But then again you can't single out Malaysia as if this case is unique to Malaysia only. Banking crises happen all over the world & comparatively speaking Malaysian banks are very solid. As far as interest & inflation is concerned it is not like there is any country in the world where you can expect to park your money in a bank and expect the interest will cover the inflation, not right now at least. What are people supposed to do, keep their money under the bed or something? Plus u can't just say better to go to this country instead of Malaysia without looking at the value that Malaysia can provide vs the other country you mention. While I am not denying corruption exists in Malaysia, the judicial system is still relatively speaking, very sound to a large extent. We also have bigger networking, much better infrastructure compared to the Philippines & Mexico and if you are young and you want to do business. Malaysia would be a much better place to do business. If you are over 50 looking for a nice retirement place you want to find a place where medical care is top notch and Malaysia has good healthcare for global standards. There are also things like crimes that you have to consider. In Mexico the homicide rate is 4 times higher than the US and I already think the US is a very dangerous country to live in, let alone living in Mexico. If you are a foreigner and they know you have a lot of money, is it really safe to live there? In Malaysia the homicide rate is 9x lower than the US, its also lower than countries like Taiwan, Germany, UK, Canada, etc. So maybe u pay a little bit more but you received a much2 better quality of life.

The Alberta Treasury Branch guarantees all deposits up to 100% it is the Alberta provincial government that guarantees the insurance.

I dont think you can simply retire in china

I really dun think u know wat u r talking about. Sorry.

The ex-PM is in jail. The constant emotional decisions to change the MM2H program's terms have led foreigners into the abyss. There's been an increasing amount of anti-foreigner sentiment, confirmed by local laws and expats living in the country.

@@NomadElite Politicians in jail, happens every where. Anti-foreigner sentiment - yep, even in Portugal this year.

@@SSxxx18 Thank you

There really isn't any anti foreigner sentiment here. Like literally, no voters cares if expats come here. We welcome you, at least for now. The thing is, Malaysia is no longer a poor country in which we are willing to do anything just for the sake of getting more capital without any productivity boost. If we want to let people come in, at least let them be high quality expats that can boost productivity, provide expertise, add value, etc. I think it's normal, once your country reaches a certain level of development they would want to be more selective of the people they let in. However I don't think the government anticipated application would drop by that much. Which prompted the new government to reduce requirements a little bit.

You think Malaysia attracts billionaires? It is a great destination for middle class retirees, no more no less.

@@davidb2206 I'm glad you mentioned phrase loyal woman. What about those who stayed with you 3 years because you foreigner , then leave you and goes to court and demand your assets? I can't believe, you have never heard about that kind women. Is that right?

It's called empathy. It's ludicrous to think that a solid, loyal woman would spend her golden years (20s and 30s) with you and not get anything for the time she committed. It depends on how much money you have and what you had before you started the relationship and marriage. It would help if you didn't move in with a girl unless you're 100% sure she's the real deal. That takes some serious skills and experience to figure out. When it comes to women, most men act impulsively, not logically, which all cost us fortunes. Think with your big head, not your small head. Paraguayan women are some of the best women you'll ever meet. They're devoted, caring, loving, traditional, and conservative - literally, the complete package of femininity.

The barrier of entry is everything in monogamy dating. High-value women will often reject you, and that's a good thing. The harder it is to get her, the better for you long-term. Easy come, easy go. I agree that a woman who spent her golden years with you, a woman who nourished you, deserves a chunk of the wealth you created when you were together if either of you decides to part ways. How much is a complex and personal question to answer? Women here are very conservative, and the majority want children. But in life, there's no such thing as something for nothing. For us men, our best time is later in life, usually in our 30s to 50s. For women, they have to score in their 20s or 30s, or they risk being abandoned. Let's not be delusional here either; all conservative women want security in some way, shape, or form. No woman wants to be treated as merely a body that you use when you like it and dump it when you don't like it anymore. That's uncool. Start with a friendship, get to know each other, and see how compatible you are. You increase commitment slowly over time and certainly don't want to move in the first week you meet. It's almost always a mistake. Remember, we're talking about monogamy dating here. Spontaneous encounters are a whole other discussion.

​@@NomadEliteUhm. Sharing half of your asset is not empathy, that's a messed up law right there. Alimony is a toxic law. I might consider sharing 10% of my assets but why should my ex be entitled to half of my assets? My money is my money, you make your own money. These days women can work & have a career anyway, so go & find your own money. The fact that men have to come to a point to be very untrustworthy of women and having to sign prenup & all is a sad reality of the world we live today.
