Cross-Border Legal Briefing

Foreign Ownership & Non-Resident Acquisition in Malaysia

Statutory Matrix

Under Section 433B of the National Land Code (Revised 2020 - Act 828), foreign purchasers must obtain State Authority Consent (Kelulusan Pihak Berkuasa Negeri) prior to acquiring real estate. Each Malaysian state sets its own statutory Minimum Purchase Price Threshold for foreign buyers (e.g., RM 1,000,000 in Kuala Lumpur, RM 1,000,000 to RM 2,000,000 in Selangor, RM 1,000,000 to RM 3,000,000 in Penang, and RM 500,000 to RM 1,000,000 in Medini/Iskandar Johor). Foreigners are strictly barred from purchasing Malay Reserve Land, agricultural land (unless granted state economic exemption), and Bumiputera-allocated units.

What we ask for, and why

03

Every Malaysia submission is checked against the same working set of records before it can be reviewed for publication, governed by National Land Code 2020 & Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents Act 1981. None of this is a substitute for independent legal advice — it is the paperwork our desk asks an advertiser to produce, and cross-checks before an advertisement goes live.

Geran Hakmilik / Strata Title

Land Registry issue document of title confirming registered proprietor and category.

Cukai Tanah & Cukai Pintu

State land quit rent and local municipal assessment tax clearance receipts.

Certificate of Completion (CCC)

Professional architect / engineer Borang F certifying safety and lawful habitation.

Identity & BOVEAP mandate

MyKad verification and licensed Real Estate Negotiator (REN) appointment letter.

Estate Ulagam reviews submitted advertising materials and documents before publication.
