05 / FAQs

Questions worth asking.

Clear answers to the questions that usually shape a Gold decision.

01Can I work or run a business?

No. MM2H Gold does not permit employment or active business activities under the programme. Applicants who need those permissions should compare Platinum and PVIP.
