Malaysia Premium Visa Program

Malaysia, located in Southeast Asia, is a diverse and multicultural country. Its territory is divided into two main regions: the western peninsula, which is home to major cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru – with Johor sharing a border with Singapore; the eastern peninsula, known for its abundant natural resources, includes regions like Sabah and Sarawak.Over the past 50 years, Malaysia has gone through rapid development and successfully transformed itself from a mining-and-agriculture-heavy-economy to a service and industry-driven economy. Stable political systems, a highly educated workforce, cultural diversity, and rich natural resources, along with unique trade relationships with China and other countries, have positioned Malaysia as one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia over the next decade. This has attracted a growing number of multinational technology companies, including global giants such as AT&S from Austria, Infineon from Germany, and Intel from the United Kingdom, to establish a presence in Malaysia.

To further attract foreign investment and talent, Malaysia introduced the “Premium Visa for International Professionals” (PVIP) program on October 1, 2022. High-net-worth individuals from overseas are invited to participate in business incorporations and investments locally in Malaysia. This program offers foreign citizens the opportunity to invest in Malaysia and obtain a 20-year residency permit, with the option to renew every 20 years. This exceptional opportunity provides high-net-worth families with a pathway to establish their lives and conduct business overseas, leveraging the prosperous business ecosystem and rewarding lifestyle the country has to offer. The program aims to provide a secure and stable investment destination, attracting global investors seeking both personal and business convenience.
