Buying Guide for Property in Malaysia

Buying GuideForeigners are allowed to purchase residential houses at a minimum price of USD73,500 (RM250,000.00) per unit without obtaining approval from the Foreign Investment Committee (FIC) under the Prime Minister’s Department.

There is no requirement to buy property under the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme and some people choose to rent. It is also not essential to join the MM2H programme in order for a foreigner to buy property in Malaysia.
