Malaysia travel restrictions

Malaysia Leaving from and returning to Malaysia has previously been subject to prior government approval which was highly restricted but this has ended today and the limitations were lifted, allowing for regular travel again.

As a condition, travellers must be fully vaccinated and also do a swab test three days before returning to Malaysia plus another swab test upon arriving Malaysia.

Restrictions have been very tough and Malaysia is one of the few countries that sealed the border both externally and internally, preventing citizens from leaving without prior clearance.

The MyTravelPass application which was used by the Malaysia immigration department will no longer be required for purposes of travel for Malaysian citizens, however foreigners are still subject to strict entry regulations and there is no option to enter Malaysia as a tourist for the time being.

This was reported by The Star this morning as new regulations came into effect.

Malaysians will be allowed to travel overseas without going through the Immigration Department’s MyTravelPass beginning today, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

“The decision to allow Malaysians to travel overseas is to connect separated family members and couples.

“It is also for Malaysians travelling overseas for the purposes of work and business. However, overseas travel will only be allowed for those who are fully inoculated,” he said during his special address yesterday afternoon.

Ismail Sabri said fully-vaccinated Malaysians who were returning to the country must be tested for Covid-19 three days before their departure, and again upon arriving in the country.

“For Malaysians, self-quarantine at home is allowed.”

“If there are cases, the Health Ministry will then place them at quarantine centres.”

However, Ismail Sabri said this does not mean that Malaysian borders have been reopened for international tourists.

Ismail Sabri said a decision has yet to be made on the reopening of international tourism in Malaysia; the announcement would be made after more studies were conducted by the Health Ministry.

“Studies are still ongoing and, God willing, we will make an announcement soon.” …

Previously, travellers who were allowed entry into Malaysia were citizens, foreigners with permanent resident status, diplomats and dependants of a foreign mission in Malaysia, and those who are Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Pass Holders, student pass holders, oil and gas workers, seafarers as well as those on medical tourism. …

The restrictions under the ‘Movement Control Order’ have been extended to 9 June. Under the MCO, all foreigners are banned from entering the country. However, exceptions apply to permanent residents, holders of diplomatic and official passports and long-term pass holders working in the country’s essential services sector will be allowed entry; essential service workers must obtain a letter of confirmation from their employers and liaise with the Malaysian Immigration Department. From 4 May, foreign spouses of Malaysian citizens with long-term social passes and dependent social passes are also allowed entry.
Malaysians in Singapore must obtain approval from the High Commission of Malaysia in Singapore, before returning to Malaysia by land. Affected people should email the High Commission at least two days before departure, attaching a copy of their work passes. Only 400 permits will be issued daily. The permits should be obtained through emailing stmsg@mhc.org.sg at least 2 days before scheduled entry into Malaysia.
International flights to and from Penang International Airport (PEN) are suspended.
Malaysian citizens and permanent residents holding work permits from third countries who wish to return to their place of work will be allowed to do so but will not be able to re-enter before the current restrictions order is lifted. Supporting documents need to be provided at the point of departure. This supersedes the previous order banning all Malaysian citizens from leaving the country.
Holders of Expatriate Pass, Student Pass, Dependent Pass and Temporary Work Pass are not allowed to enter Malaysia during this period.
Foreigners holding the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) pass are allowed to return to the country. A certificate proving that the traveller has tested negative for COVID-19 will be needed prior to departure. A 14-day quarantine is still required upon arrival.

Quarantine Order for Passengers Entering Malaysia:
There is a 14-day mandatory quarantine for passengers, including Malaysians, exempted foreigners arriving into the country.
Upon arrival, travellers will undergo screening by the Malaysian health authorities before being sent to designated government quarantine centres around Negeri Sembilan and Selangor.
Travellers with onward domestic connections must undergo the mandatory 14-day quarantine before being allowed to proceed to their domestic destinations.
However, passengers with connections to Sabah and Sarawak (both East Malaysia) are allowed to undergo quarantine upon arrival in their respective states. These travellers are not allowed to leave the airport building and must have a transit time of less than 24 hours.
Foreign travellers are allowed to leave Malaysia.
Passengers transiting in Malaysia will be allowed to do so as long as they do not need to clear immigration to board their connecting flight.
Inter-terminal transit between the two terminals (KLIA to KlIA2) at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) is not possible during this time.

Internal restrictions:

With conditional MCO coming into effect from 4 May, most business and social activities are permitted, provided they adhere to stringent health and social-distancing guidelines. Activities involving large gatherings such as religious congregations or activities that may involve close body contact such as food bazaars remain prohibited. Details of the activities that are allowed can be found on the National Security Council’s website or the government agency’s social media page (both in Malay). Alternatively, translated details of the CMCO can be found here. Interstate travel remains banned and applications through the authorities should still be made.
Under the CMCO, public transportation is operating at half of its usual capacity, to maintain social-distance. Transport services to and from the airport also remain available.
While all states are moving towards easing restrictions and resuming business activities, the adoption of the CMCO differs in each state. States with different separate plans include the following:
Penang: Adjusted CMCO – the Penang Gradual Recovery Strategy (PGRS); limited businesses have resumed operations from 8 May, remaining businesses are expected to resume from 13 May.
Negeri Sembilan: Adjusted CMCO; limited business have resumed operations from 4 May.
Selangor: Adjusted CMCO; limited businesses have resumed operations from 4 May.

Anyone intending to undertake interstate travel to major cities should apply online through the Gerak Malaysia mobile application or at the local police station.
Domestic travellers, including Malaysian nationals and foreigners in Malaysia, are not allowed to travel between West Malaysia and the states of Sabah or Sarawak (East Malaysia). Residents of Sabah or Sarawak who were already in West Malaysia, or vice versa, before the MCO are allowed to return to their respective states. They are required to present their flight tickets and identification documents (identification card or passport) to clear immigration. However, they will be subject to the following measures:
Sabah: Sabah identity card holders entering the state may be subject to a 14-day quarantine. Permanent residents, long-term pass holders (including student pass, work permit, and spouses and children holding long-term social visit pass), and non-residents working in the essential services sector are allowed to enter the state but are subject to a mandatory 14-day self-quarantine.
