Malaysia's MM2H (Malaysia My Second Home) visa program—revised in 2024—is the golden ticket for long-term expats. Requirements: RM 500,000 (≈$110,000) in deposits, age 35+, and RM 10,000/month (≈$2,200) documented income. The reward: 10-year renewable residency, world-class healthcare at bargain prices, zero tax on foreign-sourced income, and a thriving English-speaking expat ecosystem. Digital nomads and early retirees thrive here.
