04 VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS

What are the vaccination requirements for travel into Malaysia?
1.

Travellers must have completed a full regimen of a COVID-19 vaccine recognised by the World
Health Organization (WHO) or by a stringent regulatory authority in the country of origin and a
booster dose for those aged 60 years and above. Those who have received two doses of Sinopharm
or Sinovac, regardless of their age, should also receive their third dose to be qualified as fully
vaccinated.

A full regimen of a COVID-19 vaccine means the traveller has received the required number of
dose(s) to provide the full vaccine protection, inclusive of the time needed following the
administration of the dose(s) to be protected against COVID-19. Currently, this means 14 days
after the second dose of a two (2) dose vaccine or 14 days after a one (1) dose vaccine. For booster
dose, they are considered fully vaccinated immediately after they receive the vaccine.

2. Would Malaysia recognise vaccine other than what has been approved by its

own regulators?

Malaysia will recognise travellers who have completed the full regimen of COVID-19 vaccines
approved under the World Health Organization’s Emergency Use Listing or approved by a stringent
regulatory authority in the country of origin, including those who have received different vaccine
brands for their respective doses.

3. What are the accepted proofs of vaccination?

Verify your digital COVID-19 vaccine certificate on mysafetravel@gov.my (for digital vaccine
certificates issued overseas)

4. What should I show as proof of vaccination while in Malaysia?

To enter premises in Malaysia that require proof of vaccination, show:
• Vaccination certificate in MySejahtera application; or
• Physical vaccination card from country of origin; or
• Physical proof of vaccination exemption for travellers who are medically unfit to be vaccinated
