Notes
The one-off participation fee is RM 1,000. The Ministry overview also charges RM 5,000 to process the principal and RM 2,500 for each dependent. Dollar figures for those ringgit fees use the Bank Negara 11:30 midpoint on 9 October 2026, RM 4.0835 per USD. The home must be in Forest City, Johor. The floor price is the Johor foreign-buyer policy, not a fixed MM2H amount, so it is not stored as an investment row. Sale is barred for 10 years unless the home is replaced by a more expensive one. Business and employment are not allowed. After the ten-year term the pass renews every five years for RM 300, with a passport, a medical report and health insurance. Applicants of 50 and over use the separate SEZ/SFZ record, with a USD 32,000 deposit and no minimum stay. The pass does not lead to permanent residence or citizenship.
