Requirements for Foreigners to Buy Properties in Penang

To curb speculative pressures on the property prices in Penang, the Penang State Government has put in place specific requirements on foreign purchase of landed and stratefied (that's to say, the condos) residential properties in Penang.

If you are a foreigner to purchase residential property on Penang Island, do note that as of July 2018¹, you may only purchase landed properties costing RM3 million and above, and stratified units costing RM1 million and above.

To purchase on the Penang Mainland, the price is RM1 million and above for landed properties and RM500,000 and above for stratified properties.
