Malaysia’s MM2H has seen changes; execution varies by state. The right adviser explains which state they file through and why, and presents a documents stack you can compile in a week.
Agent evaluation
- State familiarity; relationships with immigration units.
- Clarity on fixed deposits, income proof, health insurance.
- Family coverage and school documentation.
Delivery
A good agent pre-checks your bank statements, tax returns, and proof of assets. They schedule medicals and guide you on lease/ownership rules.
Common traps
Bank statements without proper certification; nonstandard translations; assuming rules are uniform nationwide.
Fees
Expect government fees + agent service charges. Demand line-item clarity.
CTA
Ask for a Gantt-style timeline to visualize each appointment and checkpoint.
Editor’s note: In MM2H, the state desk is your reality. Pick an agent who lives there.
