With a dependent the income test is RM 15,000 a month. An applicant with neither pension nor offshore income may instead show a three-month closing balance of RM 100,000, or RM 200,000 with a dependent, subject to panel approval. That balance does not replace the RM 500,000 deposit. The processing fee is RM 5,000, non-refundable, about USD 1,224 at the Bank Negara 11:30 midpoint on 9 October 2026, RM 4.0835 per USD. A Sarawak sponsor or a licensed S-MM2H agent must submit the application through MOAS. From 16 May 2025 a personal sponsor is limited to a spouse, parent, child or sibling. Full-time work is not allowed. Part-time professional work up to 20 hours a week needs state approval, in education, banking or securities, manufacturing or medical. A minority joint-venture stake of up to 49 percent is allowed in an approved sector, with paid-up capital of at least RM 250,000. Property is optional: at least RM 600,000 in Kuching Division and RM 500,000 in other divisions. The first approval is 5+5 years. After 10 years the participant files a new application six months before expiry. A letter of good conduct and a medical report endorsed in Sarawak are required. Medical insurance is required; the main-applicant checklist limits that line to applicants under 60. Israel and North Korea are excluded. The guide does not offer permanent residence or citizenship.
