8. Does a former COVID-19 patient (i.e. within the last 60 days) who has recently
recovered still need to undergo pre-departure COVID-19 test?

Yes, a recently recovered COVID-19 patient needs to undergo a professionally administered
or supervised COVID-19 antigen rapid test within 2 days before departure for Malaysia at an
internationally accredited or recognised laboratory, clinic, or medical facility recognised by the
Ministry of Health of the country of origin, and be tested negative.

In addition, this traveller needs to bring along an electronic or physical copy of their positive
COVID-19 test and to provide a letter from the healthcare provider / public health officials that
clearly states the date of COVID-19 diagnosis, the end of his / her isolation period.

9. Do children need to undergo pre-departure and on arrival COVID-19 tests?

Children aged 6 years old and below are exempted from the pre-departure and on arrival COVID-19
tests. Children 7 years old and above are required to undergo pre-departure and on-arrival
COVID-19 tests.

10. What are the accepted proofs of COVID-19 testing/ Pre-Departure Test

certificates?

Travellers who have taken a COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Test or COVID-19 antigen
rapid test should receive either a digital test result certificate or an endorsed hardcopy result
certificate. You may then upload the test result into MySejahtera as proof that you have done the

Those who are unable to receive a digital certificate can request a hardcopy certificate from the
clinic you visited instead.
