Any Current Info. re Visa Trip to Malaysia ?

[allane]

Does anyone have current information re the possibility of doing a Visa trip from Thailand to Penang and back, for a double vaxed person?

  -testing & medical requirements in both directions

  -quarantine requirements

  - any travel companies offering travel packages, overland or by air ? (if so, please specify city of origin and mode of travel.  I am assisting someone in Bangkok who might prefer to travel independently to some city in the south, then join a travel package from there.)

I have read a news story indicating that a relaxation of the border crossing rules is coming on Mar. 15.  His proposed travel would be shortly  after that date.  Thank you.

Just announced Malaysia opening borders 1st April. Let's hope not an April Fool joke.

As I understand it from 1st April if you are fully vaccinated you can enter Malaysia without any PCR test before departure or on arrival or any need for quarantine or insurance.

 

However, if returning to Thailand you need to obtain a Thailand Pass at least seven days before travel, have insurance to a minimum of US$20,000, and follow the Test & Go procedure. But you don't need to do a PCR test before travel if fully vaccinated.

 

This isn't going to work for Malaysians wanting to travel up to Thailand for the weekend.
