What visa do I need for a flight connection in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia?
score:7
To avoid any issue while travelling, I made Transit Visa in local Malaysian embassy
@@Update@@
I already traveled, So I can give more proper update.
When I was check-in my luggage at Mumbai international airport I requested ground handling staff to check-in my luggage for Manila flight too and they agreed. They put 3 tag on my luggage
- First Mumbai to Kuala Lumpur tag then
- Transfer tag and lastly
- Kuala Lumpur to Manila tag.
I was safe that time as I got two boarding pass at same time. But unexpected thing happened, my Mumbai flight was late 1 hour for departure due to bad weather and got more late 3 hours.
When I reach Kuala Lumpur I was having only 5 minutes to catch Manila flight but as it was airline mistake they make Manila flight 1 hour late.
They cover 1 hour in Manila flight, but when I reach Manila airport at 13:30, my luggage was missing. When I ask AirAsia luggage security about it, they inform me that my luggage will come at 15:00, but I had to catch domestic flight from another airport at 15:25 and airport was 30-45 min away from international airport so they suggested me that I should carry on to domestic airport other wise I will miss my flight and they will send my luggage to onward station. Next day I call them to check if they send my luggage. They inform me that luggage was already sent same night. I went there to pick my luggage without any issue
Hope this can help someone

Just so you know for the future: as stated in Timatic, the database used by Airlines, there are two Arrangements for visa-free Transit by Indians:
TWOV (Transit Without Visa): Visa required, except for Holders of onward tickets for a max. transit time of 24 hours, arriving at and departing from Kuala Lumpur (KUL)
TWOV requires the trip to be in a single booking, so not applicable to you.
The second Arrangement, which does let you clear Immigration and can be used with separate tickets:
Visa required, except for Holders of a valid visa issued by Australia, China (People's Rep.), Chinese Taipei, Japan, Korea (Rep.), New Zealand or USA to nationals of India residing in country of nationality holding confirmed onward tickets for a max. transit time of 120 hours, arriving at and departing from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) on Malaysia Airlines (MH) or Air Asia (AK). When transit time is longer than 8 hours it is permitted to leave the transit area.
So if you have a valid visa from one of the mentioned countries, and the Connection time is at least 8 hours, you do not Need a visa.
Otherwise, you did the correct Thing by getting a Transit visa
