FAQ
Questions people ask first
Is buying a home compulsory?
Yes. The official categories require participants to buy and own a residence after approval, subject to the category minimum; SEZ/SFZ uses the designated development price.
Can the property be sold immediately?
Official category pages state the residence cannot be sold for 10 years, though upgrading to a higher-value home is allowed. Confirm the applicable conditions with a licensed operator and lawyer before purchase.
Does David process the MM2H visa?
David focuses on Johor property advice, home selection and transaction coordination. The formal MM2H application should be handled by a MOTAC-licensed operator.
