年轻人也能办的MM2H？

年轻人也能办的MM2H？ 新SEZ/SFZ签证方案全面降低门槛   你知道吗？规划海外居留权与资产配置，早已不再是中年企业家的专属选项。如今，越来越多 90 后、00 后的高收入年轻人、数字游民与自由职业者，开始思考：“我能不能也拥有一个说走就走、说留就留的国际生活基地？” 为回应这股新趋势，马来西亚第二家园计划（MM2H）全新推出 SEZ/SFZ 类别签证，为年轻一代带来更灵活、门槛更低的跨境生活方案。   什么是SEZ/SFZ类别？为什么21岁就能申请？ SEZ（Special Economic Zone，经济特区）与 SFZ（Special Financial Zone，金融特区），是马来西亚政府于 2024 年在 MM2H 计划下新增的子类别，主要开放给计划在柔佛新山—新加坡经济特区（Johor–Singapore SEZ）或森林城市金融特区（Forest City SFZ）定居或投资的申请人。   与传统 MM2H 最大的不同在于：年龄门槛降至 21 岁以上，且无需强制提供海外收入证明。这对拥有资金自主权的年轻自由职业者、数字游民、股权投资者或加密资产持有者来说，无疑是一次前所未有的利好。   资金门槛更低，使用更灵活：30万马币定存即可启动 根据现行规定，申请人只需在马来西亚银行账户中存入： 65,000 美元（约30万马币），适用于 21 至 49 岁的申请人； 32,000 美元（约 15万马币），适用于 50 岁及以上的申请人。…
