Health insurance requirements for Malaysia long-stay visas

3 of Malaysia’s 3 tracked long-stay visas require health cover. The figures and conditions below are transcribed from the sources listed on each visa page.

DE Rantau Nomad Pass

Cover required; no published minimum

The policy must explicitly cover Malaysia by name — wording such as 'worldwide' or 'Asia' is not accepted on its own.
Cover can be arranged after approval but must be in place before the pass is issued.

Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H)

Cover required; no published minimum

Health insurance is listed among the documents required to renew the MM2H pass; MOTAC publishes a List of Insurance Company on the official references page.
No minimum coverage amount is published on the official MOTAC guidelines or category pages.
A medical check-up at a clinic or hospital on MOTAC's appointed panel is compulsory for the principal and every dependant after approval.

Sarawak-Malaysia My Second Home (S-MM2H) Social Visit Pass

Cover required; no published minimum

Medical insurance must be a Malaysian-valid policy — the checklist asks for a 'Certified copy of Local Medical Insurance Purchase'
The main-applicant checklist qualifies the insurance requirement as applying to applicants below 60 years old
Dependants' checklists (spouse, parents, children) list the insurance document with no age qualifier
MTCP publishes no minimum coverage amount, so any figure quoted by an agent is that agent's own standard
Separate from insurance: the RB II medical report must be done at a registered Sarawak facility and endorsed by a Sarawak government doctor; an overseas medical must be redone in Sarawak before the pass is issued
