Chinese passport holders must apply through the Malaysia embassy, consulate, or a designated visa application centre before travelling. Requirements are subject to change, so always verify at the official government portal.

⚠️Common Reasons Malaysia MM2H (Second Home) Applications Are Refused6

• !
  Financial criteria for the chosen tier not met — fixed deposit below the tier minimum (USD150,000 Silver / USD500,000 Gold / USD1,000,000 Platinum) or the required property purchase (RM600k / RM1M / RM2M) not completed or held for the required period.
• !
  Source-of-funds or offshore-income evidence is insufficient, unverifiable, or not sustained, so the financial standing cannot be confirmed.
• !
  Applicant is below the minimum age of 25, or a dependant does not meet the eligibility definition.
• !
  Medical report or medical insurance covering Malaysia is missing or inadequate, or a required certificate is absent.
• !
  Security or background screening returns an adverse result — a criminal record, prior immigration violation, or inadmissibility on security grounds.
• !
  Incomplete or inconsistent supporting documents (bank statements, property/sale-and-purchase agreement, letter of good conduct) that cannot be reconciled.

Refusal grounds are at the discretion of the deciding officer and can change. This list is informational — always verify current requirements at the official government portal.
