Sponser

Hello All

Apologies I am new to the forum thing, so if I get it wrong forgive me.

I have just sold my house in the UK and am looking to retire to Miri, Sarawak.  My limited understanding for Sarawak is that an MM2H Agent cannot act as a sponsor but can find me one, also that I have to be present for my application to be heard.

Any way I can find my own sponser?

Do I have to be present for my application?

Advice will be gratefully received

Thanks Ian

You don't need to find a sponsor if you want to participate in the mm2h program

If you want to save tons of money, don't go through an agent, the procedure is pretty simple, just follow the guidelines n requirements mentioned in the mm2h site, and forward the documents to the mm2h office, once its approved, they will inform you,then you come to Malaysia and proceed with rest of the process, medical, bank guarantee etc
I don't think with mm2h, you can stay in Miri, as Miri is in Sarawak which is east malaysia, mm2h only entities to stay in west Malaysia, unless the rules have changed or unless there is a similar program for Sarawak

Hi Caesar
Thank you. It's only from what I saw from a quick look at the documentation will have a better read in the morning. Thanks again Ian

You just need 2 local sponsors to sign your personal bond

Just a word of warning - it's a different MM2H visa bprocess/conditions to live in East Malaysia than West Malaysia. http://www.smm2h.com/faqs.html
