“One of the most affordable pathways to Malaysia MM2H.”
Forest City is a large-scale waterfront township located within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) and Special Financial Zone (SFZ). Designed as a self-contained city, the development offers a mix of high-rise residences, landed properties, golf course living, commercial components, hotels and lifestyle facilities within a unique island environment.
Today, Forest City has become increasingly attractive to foreign buyers due to its connection with Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programmes and the incentives available within the Special Financial Zone.
Key Highlights:
In our view, Forest City is no longer just a property purchase.
For many foreign buyers, particularly retirees and long-term lifestyle purchasers, it has become one of the most affordable entry points into Malaysia’s MM2H programme.
The combination of lower property entry prices and MM2H-related incentives makes Forest City stand out from many competing developments across Malaysia.
What we like:
One of the biggest reasons buyers consider Forest City today is its connection to Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H).
Under the current framework, buyers purchasing qualifying properties within Forest City may enjoy significantly lower fixed deposit requirements compared to the standard MM2H programme. Depending on the applicant category, this could result in savings of up to RM550,000 in required cash deposits.
In addition, MM2H participants are generally allowed to withdraw up to 50% of their fixed deposit for approved purposes, including property purchases, further reducing the effective capital commitment required.
For buyers whose primary goal is obtaining a long-term Malaysian residency visa, Forest City provides one of the most accessible entry points currently available.
Condominium units starting from approximately RM500,000 make it easier for applicants to satisfy property ownership requirements while maintaining a relatively low overall investment amount.
For buyers with larger budgets, Forest City’s freehold landed golf villas offer a unique lifestyle option that is increasingly difficult to find elsewhere in the region.
