🔔 Important Policy Reminder
🇲🇾 Malaysia continues to welcome Chinese tourists with a visa-free policy, but the latest regulations from the Immigration Department require all travelers to complete the MDAC electronic entry card before entering the country. This allows for 30 days of visa-free travel.
⚠️ Remember, visa-free does not mean you can enter without any formalities. Filling out the entry card in advance is mandatory. Without it, entry will be denied!
