Hi guys, there's some updates to the S-MM2H eligibility criteria: Over 50s can provide proof of savings if they do not meet the income requirement. Also the 30-49 age group has been lumped together into one category. See more here: kzread.infonoFOEySrGCo?feature=share

What is the other way round? You proof the income, but don't hit the savings criteria? I heard this is possible, too?

@@Haushahn6869 You can provide proof of bank savings of RM 50,000. Or RM 100,000 for couples.

So if you are aged 30 to 49 yeaes old you have to do 1 of the following: Purchase a house worth at least 600K MYR, having children under the age of 21 enrolled in a school in Sarawak, or undergoing long term medical care in Sarawak. For me that means MM2H is cheaper than S-MM2H, thats a pity about having to purchase property! Great detailed and concise info thanks for sharing

Informative video👍🏼

G'day Azza!

Can you share info or direct folks to a comparison of Sarawack and Sabah? Thanks in advance.

A hypothetical question: let's say you did the 5 years + 5 years extension for MM2H silver or S-MM2H, what happens after the 10 years are up? Would you only be able to return to Malaysia on a tourist visa? Or could you go do a 6-12 month stay in another country (Philippines, Thailand, etc.) as a "reset" then return to Malaysia and apply for MM2H or S-MM2H again? I know the gold and platinum MM2H plans offer longer periods (with a much more substantial bank deposit). I suppose you could do 10 years with S-MM2H and then 10 years under MM2H providing the revised requirements for the latter are within your reach.

Are Sarawak S-MM2H agencies also waiting for reviews and renewed licenses like the MM2H agencies on West Malaysia? Will this slow down the Sarawak MM2H program, too?

on the 30 days you have to stay can it be broken into 2 15 days visits ?

I think continuous days

2:30 Wait, wait, wait so you could vacation in Sarawak for 30 days/year and live full time in KL under the Sarawak MM2H?

Technically you can under the current rules. However this wouldn't be practical for the under 50s category, as your property/medical/school would have to be located in Sarawak.

Very clear.

The only thing that trips us up with Malaysia is the income 😞...We could put money into a bank but as I understand, you need to prove income AND deposit money into a Malaysian bank, not one or the other like someone else told us.

requirements have now changed, since mid March - no need for monthly income, but need 'proof of savings' instead. There's a Sarawak My Second Home Facebook group - currently discussing this new requirement.

Can S MM2H upgrade to full fledge MM2H in future by keep on depositing in installments?

You would have to apply for each program separately.

For people who are 50 years, you said you need to show 7000 Ringgits per month. Is this working salary, or can it be money in a bank account or rental property?

Hi Rickey, it should be pension or investment income.

Hi Ivan, technically you can live in West Malaysia but you still have to spend at least 30 days in Sarawak each year. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this was tightened up in the future.

MM2H really popular? I’m glad I still hold the Malaysian citizenship I an come n go anytime save the hustle indeed .

Definitely s-mm2h is better
