What are the naturalization requirements for Malaysian immigrants?

# Malaysian Immigrants # Introduction Malaysia is a country that many people are very familiar with, especially China people. The first stop for many people to travel abroad is often Malaysia, which is a country suitable for life, so more and more people choose to immigrate to settle in the past. In fact, it's easy to immigrate to Malaysia, but you need to meet more requirements if you want to be naturalized. See details for details.

1. What are the naturalization requirements for Malaysian immigrants?

Malaysian citizens can be obtained through registration or naturalization. Either way, you must give up your previous nationality, because Malaysia does not allow dual nationality. 1, naturalization

If you are a foreigner and have no Malaysian descent, you can obtain Malaysian citizenship through naturalization. The requirements are that you are at least 2 1 year old, have lived in Malaysia for more than 10 years in the 12 years immediately before the application date, and can prove that you have enough knowledge of Malay. Apply for Malaysian nationality at the national registry. The documents required to apply for Malaysian citizenship are as follows:

Application form c

identity card

birth certificate

entry permit

Identity cards of two Malaysian referees

Other documents of spouse or children (if any)

However, don't expect that applying for citizenship actually means that you will get it. Many foreigners have waited for years without results. In addition, many requirements are very vague and subjective, such as knowledge of Malay, which often leads to rejection of applications.

2. Obtain citizenship through registration.

In the case of registration, a person is already a citizen according to law, but has not yet registered. This applies to people born outside or inside Malaysia, but at least one of their parents was Malaysian at the time of birth. In order to register citizenship, people born abroad must be under 2 1 year old and only need basic knowledge of Malay. More information and documents are available on the website of the National Registry of Malaysia.

2. What kind of country is Malaysia?

Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country and a founding member of ASEAN. Its territory is divided into two regions by the South China Sea. Malaysia Peninsula is located in the Malay Peninsula, bordering Thailand in the north and Singapore in the south. East Malaysia is located in the north of Borneo, bordering Indonesia in the south and Brunei in the north.

With a population of 30 million, Kuala Lumpur is the capital and the most populous city, with a population of 2 million, and the population of the whole capital circle exceeds 7 million. Its official language is Malay, although English is widely used as a former British colony. Except for seven ethnic groups such as Tamil, about 30% of the population is Chinese. Its official currency is the Malaysian ringgit (MYR).

It can be seen that it is still difficult to obtain Malaysian citizens, especially the immigration regulatory requirements, which require residence for more than ten years. In addition, Malaysia does not allow dual citizenship, which is a big obstacle for many people. However, for high-net-worth people, they can choose to obtain residence status through the second residence project without having to choose naturalization.

3. What are the requirements for Malaysian immigrants?

1, short-term visa

People who wish to stay in Malaysia for three months or less can hold short-term visas. Generally speaking, the easiest way to get this kind of visa is to travel, but with the approval of the government, short-term visas can also grant the right to perform some temporary work privileges (for example, Ji Ren performs tasks in Malaysia or visits athletes).

2. Employment Permit in Malaysia

Employment Permit in Malaysia Foreign workers have been living and working in Malaysia for 60 months under work contracts. Cooperate with Malaysian employers to apply, so you need a work contract and employment certificate. Once received, the pass is only valid for the company that applied for it. Changing companies need to re-apply for another pass and can't work until they receive a new permit.

Once you receive a valid employment permit, you have the right to apply for a family permit or a long-term social visit permit for your spouse, children (/kloc-under 8 years old) and parents (over 60 years old). You can also apply for a social visit permit, allowing foreign housekeepers or nannies to be brought to Malaysia (aged between 265,438+0 and 45, with a maximum of 65,438+02 months). These visas are also valid only if the employment permit holder's visa is still valid.

3. Permanent residence

As Malaysia is a country with a single nationality, obtaining a passport is not so attractive, but permanent residency in Malaysia is a good choice. To obtain permanent residency, foreigners usually need to live in the country continuously for at least five years according to legal documents (work visa, renewed long-term residence visa, etc.). ). The Malaysian government has listed the categories that can obtain permanent residency:

1) high net worth people

You must open a bank account in this country and deposit at least $2 million in five years. This will grant permanent residency immediately, provide long-term residence visas for children and spouses, and grant permanent residency five years later.

2) Experts/professionals

For highly skilled and experienced employment permit holders. You need to live in Malaysia for at least five years, and you need to provide citizen/permanent resident guarantee and employer's recommendation letter.

3) spouses of Malaysian citizens

Before applying, you need to be married to a Malaysian citizen for five years, have a guarantor and hold a valid five-year long-term residence visa.

4) Meet the scoring requirements

Malaysia provides a permanent residence system based on points. Applicants must get at least 65 points in 120 and must have a guarantor. The categories of points earned include salary, age, work experience, language ability, investment, time in Malaysia, etc.

5) Second Home Project

The second home project is also a good way to get a long-term residence visa. However, the new policy promulgated in 20021has greatly raised the requirements for applicants. Whether the follow-up policy can remain attractive is unknown.

Generally speaking, there are many ways to immigrate to Malaysia, and it is not difficult to obtain permanent residence status. Applicants can choose the most suitable method according to their actual situation.
