马来西亚：出发前须知

要点

  • Submit the free Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) within 3 days before arrival; only use imigresen-online.imi.gov.my.
  • Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo) run their own immigration checks: you get a new stamp/permit even when flying from Kuala Lumpur.
  • Drug trafficking can carry the death penalty; possession brings long prison terms.
  • Vape sales are banned in several states and a nationwide ban is being phased in; don't vape in no-smoking zones (restaurants, malls, public places).
  • Russian, Belarusian and Uzbek passports get 30 days visa-free; UK/US/most EU get 90 days.

入境与签证

Most Western passports enter visa-free for 90 days; Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan and others get 30 days. Chinese and Indian citizens are visa-exempt for 30 days (India until 31 Dec 2026; China under a mutual exemption agreement). Almost all foreign visitors must submit the MDAC before arrival. Sabah and Sarawak apply separate immigration control.

在线入境表格与许可

边检可能要求

  • Many nationalities can use autogates after MDAC; others queue at counters with fingerprinting.

  • Arriving in Sabah or Sarawak (even from Peninsular Malaysia) means another passport check.

  • Declare cash over USD 10,000 (or equivalent).
