Please ensure you have a valid passport and visa for any international travel. You may obtain the latest entry requirements via the embassy or consulate of the country you are visiting or via the IATA Travel Centre. For domestic flights within Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah / Sarawak, all relevant documents must be original. Copies are not accepted.

Effective 4 July 2022, returning Malaysians to the country will no longer need to fill out and complete the Traveller’s Pass feature in their MySejahtera application.

However, non-Malaysian travellers are still required to complete the Traveler Pass displayed in the MySejahtera app before entering the country. 

• If you’re suspected of using drugs, you may be required to take a urine test on arrival in Malaysia. This includes if you’re travelling from a country where possession and use of drugs such as cannabis is legal. Penalties for drug offences are severe. 
• Don’t use, carry or traffic illegal drugs. Punishments include the death penalty.
• It’s unclear if surrogacy is legal under Malaysian civil law and what conditions apply. Get legal advice before arranging a surrogacy.
• Malaysian law requires that you carry identification, such as your passport or a Malaysian Immigration Issued Card (IKAD), with you at all times. If you are asked by police and are unable to provide it, you may be detained until you can present valid identification.
• Malaysia is a multicultural but mostly Islamic country. Many areas have conservative standards of dress and behaviour. This includes at religious sites. Get advice on local customs.
• Malaysia enforces some aspects of sharia law. Kelantan and Terengganu states are stricter than others. These laws apply to all Muslims, including visitors from Australia. Research laws that apply to you before you travel.
• Malaysia doesn’t recognise dual nationality. Always travel on your Australian passport. If Malaysian authorities find out you’re a dual citizen, you may need to renounce one of your citizenships immediately, or you may not be permitted to depart Malaysia.
