Frequently Asked Questions
Can foreigners buy property in Malaysia?
Yes, subject to a minimum purchase price and state-specific rules, which vary by location and property type. Your international-desk contact will confirm what applies to you.
Do I need to visit in person?
No, viewings, document signing, and most of the process can be handled remotely, though some buyers choose to visit before finalizing.
Is there a minimum purchase price for foreign buyers?
Yes, thresholds vary by state and property type. Tell us your target location and your international-desk contact will confirm the current figure.
How do international payments work?
Your international desk coordinates payment timing and currency conversion alongside your bank or remittance provider.
How long does the process take from abroad?
For a typical subsale purchase, expect 3 to 6 months from offer to keys. Legal due diligence alone can take 1 to 3 months, most of which is handled by your lawyer without you needing to be present.
Do I need State Authority Consent to buy?
Yes. Foreign purchases require State Authority Consent, a mandatory approval step. Your lawyer arranges this as part of the legal checks.
