Protocols to Enter Malaysia for Travellers
- All travellers to Malaysia NO longer need to fill in the Pre-departure form to get the Traveller Card.
All travellers are allowed to enter Malaysia regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination status and do not require a pre-departure or on-arrival COVID-19 test. There are no quarantine orders related to COVID-19 enforced by the Malaysian Government upon arrival.
Travellers can download and activate the MySejahtera application before or after arrival to Malaysia to indicate their COVID-19 risk status while staying in Malaysia. The COVID-19 risk status in MySejahtera may be checked upon entering premises.

- Individuals can be released from isolation on the 4th, 5th or 6th day when they are asymptomatic and the result of an RTK Ag test supervised by a registered medical practitioner is negative (This test can be done at the nearest health facility or Virtually).
- Discharge from quarantine on the 7th day does not require any COVID-19 detection test.
