- Travellers must undergo a COVID-19 RT-PCR test within two days prior to arrival into Malaysia. However, a fully vaccinated person who had contracted the virus 6 to 60 days prior to arrival in the country are exempted from doing the pre-departure test. They are required to undergo a professionally administered RTK-Ag test and be able to produce the “Fit to Travel” document. Children below 6 years old are not required to do the test.
- Travellers are required to download the contact tracing app, MySejahtera into their mobile phone/gadget and complete the pre-departure information in the “Traveller” form, such as health declarations and the negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test results.
- Fully vaccinated travellers will then be issued with the traveller’s card on their MySejahtera, while non-vaccinated travellers will be issued with Home Surveillance Order for 5 days. Travellers must be able to produce either document before being allowed to board the aircraft.
- Foreign travellers are required to purchase health insurance covering COVID-19 treatment with a minimum coverage of USD20,000. Please visit https://www.mysafetravel.gov.my/ for more information on the purchase of travel insurance.
- International travellers arriving on direct flights to Sarawak are required to undergo professionally administered RTK-Ag test before proceeding for passport clearance. If they are transiting via any other airports such as KLIA and Kota Kinabalu, they need to undergo the RTK-Antigen test at the first port of arrival.
Note: This specific health SOP for arrivals in Sarawak is mandated by the state government.
