Step 2

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.
Why WANDA
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.
MOTAC License · Inbound
MM2H855
Valid August 2025 - August 2028  ·  verify on the official MOTAC registry
How to verify any MM2H agent
1Ask for the MOTAC license number. Every legitimate agent has one. If an agent hesitates to share it, that is a significant red flag.
2Check the validity period. Licenses are issued for fixed terms - an expired license cannot legally submit applications.
3Confirm the license type. Look for "Inbound" under the Field column - outbound-only tourism licenses do not qualify for MM2H work.
Check the official MOTAC registry→
Note:
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.

Do I have to come to Malaysia personally to submit my application documents? +
No. Your appointed licensed MM2H agent uploads the application into the MM2H Online System and submits the physical document set at the MOTAC OSC counter on your behalf. You only need to travel to Malaysia after approval, within 90 days, to complete the endorsement.
Step 4

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.
01
Online · MM2H System
Digital set uploaded by your agent

Licensed agents only:
Under the Tourism Industry Act 1992 [Act 482] and the 2024 MM2H policy, applications can only be submitted by a MOTAC-licensed agency - "DIY" submission at the counter or online is not accepted. WANDA has held License No. MM2H855 since 28 Sep 2024, when new licensing re-opened in July 2024 for all MM2H agencies operating in Malaysia, and submits on your behalf.

Step 6

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.
Important:
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.
Flying in to Malaysia for the MM2H endorsement trip
Phase 1 · Before you fly
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.
Phase 2 · When you land
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.
Phase 3 · In Malaysia

The four pre-endorsement tasks

01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.
Phase 4 · Endorsement day

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.
Phase 5 · After endorsement

One condition left - within 12 months

12M
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.
Important:
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

Platinum · ZPMM2H
MYR 5,000
after 20-year validity
Gold · ZGMM2H
MYR 3,000
after 15-year validity
Silver · ZSMM2H
MYR 1,500
after 5-year validity
SEZ/SFZ · ZEMM2H
MYR 300
after 10-year validity
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

Renewal · a new term
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.
Extension · the balance of your term
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.
Do I have to repeat the full application and pay all the fees again to renew my MM2H Pass/Visa after its term expiry? +
No. Renewal is a simpler process than a new application - you pay the renewal fee for the principal, plus the Pass Fee and MEV Fee per participant as listed above.
