Notes

The one-off participation fee is RM 3,000 for the principal and nothing for dependents. The Ministry overview also charges RM 5,000 to process the principal and RM 2,500 for each dependent. Dollar figures use the Bank Negara 11:30 midpoint on 9 October 2026, RM 4.0835 per USD. Offshore-income tests for this tier have been dropped. Employment and business are not allowed on the pass; a separate pass has to be requested. Children aged 21 to 34 must be single and unemployed. A disabled child has no age limit. Parents and parents-in-law may join. After the fifteen-year term the pass renews every five years for RM 3,000, with a current passport, a medical report and health insurance. During the term, a passport sticker is reissued for a visa fee of RM 0 to RM 50 and a pass fee of RM 500 a year. The pass does not lead to permanent residence or citizenship.
