MM2H (Malaysia My Second Home)
Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) is a government residence programme with tier-specific conditions published by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture. Conditions depend on the tier and approval date.
In Detail
Use MOTAC's official page for the selected tier, because residence-purchase values, fixed deposits, stay requirements and lock-in conditions can change. MM2H status does not itself guarantee a mortgage, short-stay permission, a transfer-duty treatment or State Authority consent for a particular unit.
Investment Impact
Any tier-specific residence lock-in affects exit planning. Confirm the applicable term in the official approval conditions and avoid assuming that past programme rules apply to a new application.

Can MM2H holders rent out their property?
Yes, MM2H holders can rent out their property for long-term or short-term (homestay) purposes, subject to local licensing requirements and the development’s house rules. Rental income is taxable in Malaysia.
