What is PVIP

Residency by investment, redefined.

The Premium Visa Programme is Malaysia’s flagship residency-by-investment pathway. Your commitment is a placed deposit rather than a fee, one that unlocks the right to build a life, a business and a legacy in one of Asia’s most dynamic economies.

  • Live, work, invest and study, with no local sponsor
  • Include your spouse, children, parents and parents-in-law
  • No minimum stay. Enter and exit Malaysia at your discretion
  • Own property and operate businesses under your own name

A flagship programme, offered by the government of Malaysia, and held entirely on your own terms.

Who is eligible for the PVIP?

Any foreign national who meets the offshore income and fixed-deposit thresholds, regardless of age or nationality.

How long does the process take?

Typically three to six months from submission, depending on documentation and authority processing times.

Can I include my family?

Yes. Your spouse, children, parents and parents-in-law may all be included on a single application.

Is the fixed deposit refundable?

Yes. 50% may be withdrawn after the first year, once approved by the Immigration Department of Malaysia, for purposes such as property, education or medical needs.

Must I live in Malaysia full-time?

No. PVIP carries no minimum-stay requirement. You are free to enter and exit the country entirely at your discretion.

Why apply through an authorised agency?

PVIP applications must be filed through government-appointed agencies. We ensure accuracy, speed and full compliance from day one.
