Latest rules as at December 2023.
The Ministry of Tourism has announced that in future there will be three tiers
Silver which requires a fixed deposit of RM500,000 and comes with a renewable 5 year visa.
Gold which requires a fixed deposit of RM2,000,000 and comes with a 15 years visa (which would be issued with a three, five year visa
Platinum which requires a RM5,000,000 fixed deposit and includes eligibility for Permanent Residency
All of the tiers require the holder to spend at least 60 days a year here although it seems their dependents can fulfil this requirement.
Eligible dependents who are permitted to join the programme have been specified as – spouse, children under 21, parents and parents-in-law, disabled children of any age, and unmarried children aged 21 to 34.
In all cases, half the FD can be withdrawn after one year for house purchase or medical expenses.
We are still awaiting clarification on the minimum monthly income required to be eligible for the visa, although they may have removed this requirement. The existing programme requires proof of income of RM40,000 per month.
SPECIAL NOTE
It should be noted that the rules shown on this website are for West Malaysia and Sabah only. The rules and requirements for Sarawak are different as those two states are allowed some autonomy in immigration matters. Sabah’s program is very close to the federal rules, but Sarawak currently offers a more accessible option. (See here)
