Official announcement of the restart of the second home
On January 21st, the Malaysian Immigration Department held a promotion event for the second home. The Minister of Home Affairs, Datuk Seri Hansa Zainuddin attended the event, announcing the official restart of the second home plan in Malaysia.
The new second home program will be taken over by the Immigration Bureau, which is reported to have attracted hundreds of overseas applicants. The existence of the Malaysia Second Home Program enables many overseas people to live and work in Malaysia for a long time.
In 2020, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, Malaysia implemented the Movement Control Order (MCO). Subsequently, the Malaysia Second Home Program also suspended applications on July 1 of the same year.
Under the attention of many parties, the second home plan finally settled on January 21 this year. On that day, the Malaysian Immigration Bureau held a promotion event for the second home, officially announcing the restart of the project.
The Malaysia Second Home Program is cost-effective and simple to apply. It can live in Malaysia for a long time. For investors who have purchased real estate, it is not only an investment, but also a second home overseas. If you need to know more about the project, please contact Xiaoxing~
