Program Overview

Sarawak Investor Visa (S-MM2H)

Sarawak, Malaysia’s largest state on the island of Borneo, is known for its cultural heritage, biodiversity, and semi-autonomous status. This autonomy allows it to independently manage Sarawak Malaysia My Second Home (S-MM2H), with state-specific requirements and benefits.

The S-MM2H program grants foreigners long-term residency in the state. By making a minimum investment of MYR 600,000 (~US$127,500), participants can enjoy a host of benefits, including the ability to bring dependents.

Citizenship Timeline and Requirements

The Sarawak MM2H program does not provide a direct route to Malaysian citizenship. Applicants interested in citizenship must meet the standard requirements defined under Malaysian immigration law, which typically includes a long-term residency of 12 years or more.

They must also be prepared to renounce their other nationalities as Malaysia doesn’t allow dual citizenship.
