02 QUARANTINE

1.
Are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated travellers allowed to enter Malaysia?

Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated travellers are allowed to enter Malaysia. However, they will
be subjected to quarantine upon arrival. As of 1st April 2022, the number of quarantine days is
5 days. They are required to do a professionally administered or supervised COVID-19 antigen
rapid test within 24 hours of arrival AND an RT-PCR test on Day 4 or a professionally administered
or supervised antigen rapid test on Day 5 of quarantine.

2. Are unvaccinated children allowed to enter Malaysia?

Children 12 years old and below are allowed to enter Malaysia without the need to show proof of
vaccination and will follow the quarantine status of the adult (parents, guardian) they are travelling
with (e.g. if the parent is not vaccinated, the child will be required to quarantine together with the
parent).

However, they will still need to do a COVID-19 RT-PCR test within two (2) days before departure
for Malaysia and a professionally administered or supervised COVID-19 antigen rapid test within

24 hours of arrival in Malaysia. Only children aged 6 years and below are exempted from pre-
departure testing and on arrival testing.

3. Are persons who are medically unfit to be vaccinated allowed to enter Malaysia?

Persons who are medically unfit to be vaccinated are allowed to enter Malaysia. They do not need
to undergo quarantine upon arrival. However, they will still need to do a COVID-19 RT-PCR test
within two (2) days before departure for Malaysia and a professionally administered or supervised

COVID-19 antigen rapid test within 24 hours of arrival in Malaysia.

Travellers who are medically unfit to be vaccinated should obtain proof of their vaccination
exemption before they travel. The proof of vaccination exemption should be an endorsed
document from a healthcare provider / public health official. Failure to do so may result in the
travellers being subjected to quarantine upon arrival. Travellers should bring along an electronic
or physical copy of their proof of vaccination exemption.
