Do I need transit visa for Malaysia

Upvote:1

Transit Visa: The Transit Visa is issued to foreign nationals who require a visa to enter Malaysia on transit to other countries. Foreign nationals on transit without leaving the airport premises and who continue their journey to the next destination with the same flight do not require a transit visa.

TWoV (Transit without Visa) The Transit Without Visa (TWOV) is only applicable after clearing Malaysian Immigration – for a maximum of 120 hours stop-over in Malaysia. However, granting Transit Without Visa (TWOV) is solely at the discretion of the Malaysian Immigration; even if guest(s) meet all the required criteria.
