We have previously issued an Alert on the relaunch of the Malaysia My Second Home Programme ("MM2H Programme") on 11 August 2021 after a hiatus of about one year. Our earlier Alert is available here.

Recently, the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry announced that beginning October 2021, all new applications for the MM2H Programme will be handled and processed by the Immigration Department.¹

Meanwhile, the Sarawak Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister, Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah has clarified that Sarawak's Malaysia My Second Home Programme ("S-MM2H Programme") will not be affected by the new requirements and regulations announced by the Federal Government.² He added that his ministry had already enhanced the S-MM2H Programme in September 2020 with the aim of welcoming participants to enjoy Sarawak's hospitality and warmth.
