Is property compulsory under MM2H?
The current official category rules make property purchase compulsory after approval, with different minimums or SEZ/SFZ location rules by category. SEZ/SFZ timing should be revalidated for live cases because official sources use different wording.
Can I work under MM2H?
Platinum lists business and career opportunities as allowed. Gold, Silver, and SEZ/SFZ do not list those activities as allowed under their category pages.
