Ways for Malaysian immigrants to obtain the right of abode

Ways for Malaysian immigrants to obtain the right of abode

Malaysia pursues a conservative nationality policy and does not recognize dual nationality. Malaysia has strict restrictions on the naturalization of foreign citizens. Even if China marries a Malaysian citizen, it will be difficult for China citizens to obtain permanent residence status in Malaysia, let alone Malaysian citizenship. Statistics show that in the past few decades, few people have been able to obtain Malaysian PR and successfully change their nationality to join Malaysia.

Up to now, a considerable number of people in Malaysia still hold "red registration" (permanent identity documents different from passports). These people were born in China and have settled in Malaysia since independence (1957). Many people still have not obtained Malaysian citizenship. However, this does not mean that immigrants cannot be naturalized. The Malaysian Immigration Bureau has previously promulgated the "Nationality Acceptance Policy", that is, they have obtained permanent residency for more than 12 years and have lived in Malaysia for more than 10 years. But the approval is still very strict. In 2009, it was revised, and the relevant provisions were changed to: you can apply for naturalization if you have obtained permanent residency 10 years or more and have actually lived in Malaysia for more than 5 years. In view of this, the "Malaysia Second Home Plan" policy launched by the Malaysian government in 2004 provides a convenient channel for people who want to immigrate to Malaysia.

Previously, if China married a Malaysian citizen, the Malaysian spouse could neither obtain Malaysian citizenship nor obtain the long-term residency in Malaysia. Generally speaking, for children born in wedlock, according to the Malaysian Nationality Law, China citizens marry Malaysian citizens, and if the father is a Malaysian citizen, the children born have Malaysian nationality; If the woman is a Malaysian citizen, her children born in Malaysia can apply for naturalization, but if they are born in a foreign country, they cannot be naturalized. However, on July 1 2065438, the Malaysian government decided to open the "Malaysia Second Home Program" to Malaysian foreign spouses, so that Malaysian foreign husbands or wives could participate in the program and obtain long-term residency, and many families could be reunited.

It is precisely because the second hometown visa belongs to the long-term right of abode that there is no restriction on the place and time of living in Malaysia. Therefore, many China people regard their second home as a way to immigrate to Malaysia.
