Upon receiving the initial approval for their MM2H or PVIP application, applicants are granted a conditional approval letter by the Malaysia Immigration Department. It is important to note that neither the MM2H visa nor the PVIP visa permits its holders to engage in employment in Malaysia. Furthermore, neither of these visas leads to permanent residency status.

Once the initial approval is granted, applicants are required to visit Malaysia to complete the remaining steps, which include opening a local bank account and meeting the medical requirements. Henley & Partners will provide assistance throughout this process to ensure a smooth transition.

After fulfilling these requirements, the final approval will be issued, and the applicant along with their family members will receive their long-term multiple-entry visas. The MM2H visa is valid for ten years, while the PVIP visa is valid for twenty years. The entire process, from initial application to receiving the full approval and long-term visa, typically takes between three to six months.

Both the MM2H and PVIP visas are initially valid for a five-year period, after which they are eligible for renewal.
