What are MTEP, DE Rantau and MM2H — can they anchor my Malaysian company?
Three separate programmes with separate criteria: MTEP (Malaysia Tech Entrepreneur Programme) targets tech founders, DE Rantau is a digital-nomad pass, and MM2H is a long-stay residence programme. None of them is a company registration, and holding one doesn't automatically satisfy the resident-director test — that turns on where you genuinely reside.
Statutory figures: MDEC / Immigration programme requirements
Also asked as: MTEP visa founder; DE Rantau nomad visa company; MM2H open company; malaysia founder visa options.
Requirements for all three have been revised more than once in recent years. We'll incorporate and capitalise appropriately for whichever route you're pursuing, and point you to specialists for the application itself rather than guessing at current thresholds.
Key facts
- MTEP (tech founders), DE Rantau (nomads), MM2H (long-stay) — all separate from incorporation
- Holding a pass ≠ automatic resident-director qualification
- Criteria revised frequently
