01 / OVERVIEW

A focused route through Forest City.

Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) SEZ / SFZ links long-term residence to a qualifying home in Forest City.

It offers a lower age threshold and an age-based fixed deposit for people whose Malaysia plan centres on southern Johor. The programme is location-specific, so the property condition matters as much as the pass itself.

02 / WHO IT IS FOR
