Tier 1 Executive Hub

Kuala Lumpur

Leverage the De Rantau Nomad Pass or the MM2H program for long-term territorial taxation.

Kuala Lumpur offers 80% of Singapore’s infrastructure at 30% of the cost. Malaysia operates on a territorial tax system, meaning foreign-sourced income brought into the country may not be taxed (subject to recent changes). This hub details the De Rantau pass and the revamped MM2H programs.
