Malaysia

Malaysia has introduced restrictions in response to increasing COVID-19 cases that will remain in effect until 4 March 2021. The restrictions vary across locations and can change rapidly (see 'Travel'). Remain aware of what restrictions are in place at your location and follow the advice of local authorities. You must maintain social distance and wear a face mask in public spaces and on public transportation. Foreigners, including visitors and long term foreign residents, have been arrested and charged for breaching COVID-19 restrictions, including failure to socially distance in public places and being present in a venue that is suspected of breaching current rules.

Expired social visit pass (tourist visa) holders will be permitted to leave Malaysia without incurring any penalties or enforcement action up to 14 working days from the expiry of the current RMCO period. Contact your airline or travel provider to organise options to depart Malaysia as soon as you can. There is no guarantee of any further extensions without penalty.

We continue to advise:

Do not travel to Malaysia due to the health risks from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant disruptions to global travel.
