Over 2,100 MM2H applications over past two years

PETALING JAYA: A total of 2,164 applications were made for the Malaysia My 2nd Home (MM2H) programme from November 2021 to September 2023, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said of that number, 1,905 applications have been approved and 259 rejected.

“This is the reply I received on MM2H during the recent Dewan Rakyat sitting and would like to thank the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry,” said the Ayer Hitam MP on Facebook on Friday (Dec 22).

“For the implementation of the Malaysia Premier Visa Programme (PVIP), which started from Oct 1, 2022 to Sept 30, 2023, the Immigration Department has processed 57 applications involving 31 principal applicants and 26 dependents,” he added.

Dr Wee said a total of 28 applications were approved and 29 applications were certified for approval.

“The ministry said this was in line with the Prime Minister’s 2024 Budget speech on Oct 13, 2023 that the government had agreed to relax existing conditions for the MM2H programme.

“This was to make the programme more competitive and able to attract more participants while retaining existing conditions for the PVIP,” he said.
