NO NEW TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED ON MALAYSIANS

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to clarify that no new visa restrictions have been imposed on Malaysian citizens travelling abroad.

This clarification is issued in response to a misleading video circulating on a video-sharing platform, which falsely claims that eight countries have recently introduced new visa requirements for Malaysians. The Ministry confirms that this claim is entirely untrue. At present, there have been no changes to the visa policies affecting Malaysian travellers in the countries mentioned.

In addressing the matter, the Ministry has lodged a police report and referred the video to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for further action in accordance with existing laws and regulations.

The Ministry urges the public to avoid sharing unverified information and to always refer to official sources for accurate and up-to-date travel information.

The Ministry remains committed to ensuring that Malaysians are well-informed and protected while travelling abroad.
