Hi.

Just a quickie. 

Does anyone know the current status at the Malaysian land border.

Is it open to permit Thai nationals wishing to visit friends in Malaysia and will be returning after about a week?

 

If closed. Any clues as to when it may reopen?

 

Many thanks

 

All land borders are closed, except for repatriations coordinated with the relevant Embassy.

 

No idea when this will change.

 

In addition I am not sure that Malaysia is allowing tourist entries. And there is  a 14 day quarantine requirement for all foreign arrivals,.

 

This is not the time to think about making any international visits.

Hi Sheryl

Many thanks.

Will be telling my friend to forget it

You've been very helpful.

Some borders were opened as of yesterday, but only to limited categories of travelers. General tourism related travel remains out until at least August, but probably even September or October.

About the Malaysian border specifically, in the absence of a "travel bubble" concluded with Thailand earlier, the consensus seems to be the earliest re-opening may take place on September 1.

Hi.

Your responses have been duly noted.

Greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes their "movement control order" ends August 31 at this stage. This means no foreigners until Sep 1, except categories allowed to enter (similar to Thailand). And yes quarantine is in effect for now.

If you don't want to do quarantine please consider waiting a few months.
