Malaysia will open its doors to tourists on April 1st for the first time in two years

Malaysia will finally open its doors to international visitors on April 1st, according to the government.

Foreign tourists will be allowed to visit for the first time in two years.

Arrivals who are fully vaccinated will be allowed to enter the Asian country without having to go through quarantine.

Travellers must present a negative PCR result from a test performed no more than two days prior to departure, as well as take a fast antigen test within 24 hours after landing in Malaysia.

They must also fill out a pre-travel form, but they are no longer required to apply for a MyTravelPass permit.

Malaysia Airlines, the country's flag carrier, is "overjoyed" that the country is reopening to tourists.

"We are ecstatic to learn that we finally have an official timetable for the full reopening of Malaysia's borders across all of its destinations, which has been long overdue," said Daniel Bainbridge, the airline's UK and Europe regional director.
