I could return to the UK  for a 32 day family reunion. That leaves 90 days to complete the first year of Malaysian living.
Do you think that I can expect to get a 90 day re-entry approval at this point? 
If the answer is yes, then at the expiry of almost 90 days I take a short break away again, come back into Malaysia and the year is completed. So I should get another 90days  to start the second year and repeat the cycle.
Am I on-track or off my head  or just trying to be over complicated 
Anyway am not at all confident in this plan. Do you have a better suggestion leaving MM2H aside for now? |
Your calculation is correct, even on the second time you could renew for another 60 days after the initial 90 days if you wish.
The part about maid can be a bit complicated under MM2H. You have to be a "married" person and bring along your wife in order to be sure of your entitlement to a maid.
It is not true that only malay citizens can buy a house in Malaysia. Anyone can invest in residential property in Malaysia as long as the value is more than MYR 250,000 for most part of Malaysia, and the property is not zoned for bumiputra. As a MM2H participant you can enjoy various local facilities such as ease of utility connection, a local driving license, a local long term mobile phone, satellite TV, credit card etc for local usage.
