Malaysia Tour Requirements

Malaysia Visa from Pakistan

The laws regarding travel to Malaysia, testing for COVID, and quarantine requirements are listed below.

Is Malaysia open to visitors?

Yes of course. The doors of Malaysia have now fully opened to international visitors since April 1, 2022. It is no longer necessary for arrivals to complete a pre-departure form and the MyTravelPass (an entry or exit permit) to enter Malaysia.

Can international tourists travel to Malaysia?

Yes of course. Visitors from abroad can now visit Malaysia as of April 1, 2022.

Effective May 1, 2022, fully immunized travelers to Malaysia have NO pre-departure and on-arrival Covid testing requirements. Travelers do not need to be tested for COVID-19 to enter the country. The decision was taken primarily to facilitate the travel experience for passengers entering Malaysia and to help in the speedy recovery of Malaysia's airports and airline industry.

Additionally, the move will also result in less expense as Covid-19 testing is no longer required for fully vaccinated travellers, and insurance is also no longer required.

Please consult the Ministry of Tourism (MOTAC) for more information.

Is Malaysia open to business travellers?

Yes. As of April 1, 2022, Malaysia has fully opened its borders to international visitors, including business travellers.

Therefore, the One Stop Center (OSC) which was established by the Malaysian government on October 2, 2020, to facilitate the movement of business travelers following the gradual opening of the local economy after the period of the order Motion Control (MCO), has now been removed from April 1, 2022.

What are Malaysia's testing and quarantine requirements?

Testing requirements

Malaysia has announced the removal of most COVID-19 related requirements to enter the country, including the need for COVID-19 testing and screening upon arrival. With the relatively lenient travel requirements that have now been implemented since August 2022, travelers no longer need a pre-arrival test to enter.

Travelers who show symptoms upon arrival will be required to take a supervised RTK-Antigen test, either by a healthcare practitioner at a healthcare facility or virtually.

Please note that a Covid-19 insurance policy is no longer required to enter Malaysia.

Quarantine requirements

Travelers to Malaysia will no longer face travel-related quarantine measures, regardless of their vaccination status. People are free to move within the country while maintaining social distancing and following mask-wearing protocols in indoor venues and public transport vehicles.

Covid-19 positive cases must undergo a 7-day quarantine period. However, they will have the option of undergoing a supervised RTK-Antigen test on Day 4. If negative, entrants will be released from quarantine.

The cost of quarantine, including COVID-19 testing, transportation, accommodation, meals and handling fees, as determined by the Malaysian Ministry of Health, must be borne by travellers. Payment of all applicable fees must be made through the MySafeTravel system or MyQR phone app prior to their arrival in Malaysia.

Additional Entry Requirements

Before leaving, all travelers to Malaysia must download, register and activate the MySejahtera contact finder app, and upload their vaccination information which can be accessed via the "Traveller" icon in the MySejahtera app.

Please note that from August 1, 2022 you are NOT required to have a travel card or the Digital Home Monitoring (HSO) order on MySejahtera. Scanning MySejahtera in public and private areas for registration is no longer mandatory, except for those who test positive and have “high risk” status or under HSO.
