What conditions do Malaysian immigrants need?

Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country, which is famous for its beaches, tropical rain forests and colorful culture. If you want to move to Malaysia, you can obtain residence status through various channels. The details are not detailed.

1. What are the requirements for Malaysian immigrants?

1, short-term visa People who want to stay in Malaysia for three months or less can hold short-term visas. Generally speaking, the easiest way to get this visa is to travel, but with the approval of the government, short-term visas can also grant privileges to perform some temporary jobs (for example, to perform tasks in Malaysia or visit athletes in Ji Zhe).

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.

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 advantages and benefits of Malaysian immigrants?

1, buy a house

Any foreigner can buy any number of residential properties in Malaysia, but he must abide by the regulations formulated by different States for foreigners. Most states range from 20 14 to 1 RM500,000 per unit. Land is a matter for each state. Before making any laws, it is very important to check the laws of each state, because the minimum purchase price between States is not standardized.

2. Buy or import cars

Participants approved according to the mm2h plan, who hold the mm2h visa approved by 20 1 7 65438+1October1,are eligible for:

1) Newly purchased locally assembled vehicles (fully disassembled -ckd) are exempt from consumption tax; or

2) Imported Malaysian second-hand private cars (fully assembled -cbu) are exempt from import duties and consumption taxes.

MM2H participants can only sell/transfer the ownership of exempted vehicles after five (5) years from the date of vehicle registration agreed by Royal Malaysian Customs. According to the assessment currently determined by Royal Malaysian Customs, these duties need to be paid before the ownership transfer. Besides. Cars imported or purchased must be for personal use only, not for commercial use, and only one car of MM2H participants is eligible for tax exemption.

Step 3 apply for a helper

According to the current guidelines of the Malaysian Immigration Bureau, every applicant can apply for a maid.

4. Withdrawal requirements

MM2H participants can withdraw part of the prescribed time deposits (RM 50,000 for 50 years old and above)/(RM 50,000 for 50 years old and below1RM 50,000) from the second year, which will be used for the examination and approval expenses related to house purchase and car purchase, as well as the education and medical use of Malaysian children. However, a balanced time deposit of RM 100000 (50(50 years old and above)/150000 (50 years old and below) must be maintained until they terminate the MM2H plan. Please note that the withdrawal is made on the basis of reimbursement, and the funds will be paid according to the amount paid. You can withdraw money after the first year, which will take effect from the date of MM2H social access permit endorsement on your passport. If the applicant wants to withdraw the accrued interest of savings, please indicate it in the letter of intent.

It can be seen that Malaysia's second home project is still an ideal choice for immigrants to settle in Malaysia for a long time, although it requires high funds and strict application conditions.
