Sabah MM2H Visa Resort-living in sun-kissed Sabah. SBH-MM2H makes dreams come true. |
Sabah in a Nutshell One of the states in East Malaysia, Sabah takes up most of the northern-facing tip of Borneo. This more or less autonomous Malaysian territory is also known as the Land below the wind, for its pleasant equatorial climate and wealth of pristine sceneries. From lush, as good as untouched tropical rainforests to fascinating marine habitats, Sabah's nature is a joy to explore. Sabah also serves up a rich diversity of ethnic communities, fascinating cultures, breathtaking architecture, amazing traditions and truly delectable cuisine. Not to mention its kind-hearted and welcoming population. If you're in your element in a faraway land that boasts an endless summer, an enviable pace of life, along with blissful tranquility and an almost limitless array of delectable dishes, then the Sabah MM2H Visa is worth a closer look. But there's more. Because if you're looking to upgrade your lifestyle, then Sabah is the ideal choice, given its ever so affordable ranking on the so-called Sovereign Cost Of Living Index. In fact, if you want, your life in Sabah can be nothing short of fancy. Think: contemporary condo with all the modern-day trappings and facilities, such as a swimming pool, tennis/squash courts, bistro, shuttle service etc. A good proportion of MM2H-holders also avail themselves to a domestic helper and membership to the local golf club, yacht club or country club. It's no secret that, by virtue, at least in part, of Malaysia's cost of living and currency multiplier effects, German MM2H-holders are just as able to live a life of considerable luxury in Sabah, as the other MM2H participants in the rest of Malysia.
