FAQ on what to do after the MM2H approval is obtained

Why do I need to adhere to the dateline on the Entry Visa since my MM2H approval is valid for 6 months?

The Entry Visa letter is a valid period for 3 months from the date of the letter. With the letter, you apply through Malaysia Embassy/Consulate in your country to apply to stamp Entry Visa onto your passport. With the visa stamping done, you will have 2 months from the stamping date to come to Malaysia.

If I missed the Entry Visa dateline, can I still come into Malaysia with a Tourist Visa?

For those who come in with a Tourist Visa without wanting to Malaysia Embassy, we will apply for the Journey Performed Visa (JPV) by paying an additional of RM 520 per passport, this will enable conversion of tourist visa to MM2H visa.

If my MM2H approval validity lapsed, can I still stamp my passport?

This is usually not allowed as stated clearly in the approval letter “No extension is allowed”. The extension can be given for another 6 months with valid reasons. To apply for MM2H approval extension, we can only apply one month before the expiry date. Check with us if you require the service, to-date we had 100% success in extension the approval.
