 Who needs a visa?
All individuals entering Malaysia must possess valid national passports or other internationally recognised travel documents valid for travel to Malaysia. Any person not in possession of a passport or travel document recognized by the Malaysian Government must obtain a document in lieu of the passport. Application for the document in lieu of passport can be made at any Malaysian Representative Office abroad.
Holders of travel documents like a certificate of identity, laisser passer, titre de voyage or a country's certificate of permanent residence must ensure that their return to the country which issued the document or the country of residence is guaranteed. The documents should be valid, for more than six (6) months from the date of entry into Malaysia.
