MM2H (Silver tier)— income requirement, rules & eligibility.
Income requirement
Malaysia's MM2H (Silver tier) has no fixed monthly income minimum. It is deposit- or funds-driven: $150,000 fixed deposit (locked year 1, ≤50% withdrawable from year 2) PLUS compulsory property purchase after approval; per-tier minimum values are reported by licensed agents — verify before applying. The 2024 overhaul REMOVED the income requirement — qualification is deposit + property. Corroborated across sources, not re-read off a live government page this cycle (source: Malaysian Immigration Department (imi.gov.my), checked 2026-06-25).
