Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay | Your passport must have at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of entry into Malaysia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Malaysia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket at the counter. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they may deny entry if you cannot show one. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers sometimes ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. Keep a hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or bank statement | You may be asked to show you have enough money for your stay. Carry at least 500 USD in cash or have a recent bank statement accessible on your phone. | Recommended |
Overstay fines add up fast
Overstaying even one day costs RM 10 per day. If you overstay more than 30 days, you may be banned from re-entering Malaysia for up to a year.
Keep your boarding pass
Some immigration officers ask to see your boarding pass as proof of onward travel. Keep it handy until you're through the counter.
What happens at the border

Arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) or other entry point
Follow signs to 'Foreign Passports' immigration counters. Join the queue for non-Malaysian passports. Have your passport, boarding pass, and onward ticket ready.
2
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, how long you're staying, and where you're staying. Answer clearly. They may also ask to see your return ticket.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry and the allowed stay duration (usually 90 days). Check the stamp before leaving the counter.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel. If you have dutiable goods, use the red channel.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry is not extendable. You must leave before 90 days are up. Overstaying results in fines of RM 10 per day and possible deportation.
You cannot extend the visa-free stay. You would need to leave Malaysia and re-enter after a short period, or apply for a different visa type (like a social visit pass) before traveling. Overstaying is not an option.
No. Malaysia does not require an arrival declaration for Jordanian passport holders. Just your passport and onward ticket.
Yes. The visa-free entry applies at all international airports (KLIA, Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu, etc.) and land border crossings (e.g., from Thailand or Singapore). The same 90-day limit applies everywhere.
You will be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Malaysian immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.
No. If you're transiting through Malaysia (staying in the airport transit area) and not entering the country, no visa is needed. If you plan to leave the airport, the 90-day visa-free entry applies.
Not mandatory for entry, but highly recommended. Medical costs in Malaysia can be high — a hospital stay for a simple infection can cost RM 500-1000 per day. Insurance covers that.
