Travelling
Owing to an agreement, regarding visa-free entries, the citizens of European Union need for the entry to Malaysia their passports only. Passport´s validity must be minimally six months from a moment when the passengers leave the country. No so called announcing duty is introduced in Malaysia.
So, you do not need your tourist visa, when entering to Malaysia, nevertheless, the length of your stay there does not exceed 90 days. The Immigration Officer puts an entry stamp into your document, permitting your stay in the country for time period of three months. Anyway, you are recommended to check your permitted time period as soon as you receive the stamp. It could happen that the Immigration Officer could put a stamp, enabling shorter permit, as settled in an agreement regarding visa free contacts.
When entering Malaysia, you are obliged to fill in so called entry card. The first part of such card will be delivered the Immigration Officer, whereas the second part would be kept carefully, as this document must be delivered to the Officer in a moment of departure/leaving of the country at border control.
On the other hand, when the passenger arrives to Malaysia, in order to seek for job (employment) or for studies, he is obliged to ask for stay visa at Consular Section of Malaysian Embassy abroad.
Provided you loose your documents or your passport would be stolen, you are obliged, after obtaining of so called „travelling certification“, obtained at the Embassy of your country in Malaysia, to visit the respective Immigration Office. Here, you are obliged to present your substitutional „travelling certification“, one piece of your photo, police message regarding pilferage of your passport and to pay the respective fee/penalty (MYR 100,- approx.).
