Your guest has left out some details of MM2H program. Half of the money deposited in the bank can be taken out the following year for purchase of property, health and children's education. You can contact Andrew Taylor, an American expat who lives in Malaysia under the MM2H program for more detail. His channel name is the same as his name.

Hi there, if you are expat in Malaysia, please mix around with local people. So you will feel like really in the country. Instead of being in caccon living only with expat world only. Malaysians like to mix around and make friend. We speak English as second language with different level of efficiency. Feel free to 'live' in Malaysia dont just act like a tourist or a traveller, you will miss out some great thing. ❤

One of the best things, Malaysia is in the middle of the SEA.. easy to go to and fro Malaysia.. it's unique and very interesting.. That's why it's a central melting pot of diversity and food cuisines - western-eastern, northern-southern.. amazing place to live 👍🇲🇾😎

[khristian]

I would move to Malaysia but I don’t have 500.000$ USD to meet the MM2H Visa requirements

[bartz]

getting bank account without work permit. If I only want to get in for MM2H, not to work, how can I deposit cash if I won't be able to open bank account? something doesnt make sense. How to pay bills on monthly baisis without bank account?
