Malaysia My Second Home Agents

As a representative of MM2H applicants, agents should provide the best services and sufficient information to the applicants. They should be able to assist the applicants each step of the application process including solving the problems that could be faced by the applicants.

Agents will have to submit, collect and follow up on all the MM2H documents, on behalf of the applicants without the applicants in Malaysia. Agents will also escort the applicants when they need to be presented to the specific department.
 
Besides that, agents should be kept updated with the changes of the required program and be familiar with the arrangement/configuration in which the applications should be submitted. Beside submitting and collecting the documents, agents are required to provide the sufficient information on other aspects of living in Malaysia such as the property, culture, food and etc.

Since they are many inactive MM2H agents, the applicants are advised to seek the active agents list from the Ministry. Then the applicants can visit the agent’s website or offices before choosing which agent they prefer.

As agents, they are required to include the letters ‘MM2H’ in the company name. Agents of MM2H are required to meet certain financial and other condition before they are licensed by the Ministry.
