Questions worth asking.

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

01Do I have to buy property?

Yes. Silver requires a qualifying residential property with a minimum value of RM600,000. State rules and programme purchase timing still apply.

02Can I work or run a business?

No. MM2H Silver does not permit employment or active business activities under the programme. Applicants who require these permissions should compare Platinum and PVIP.
