Today’s the day, 4th July 2022, that Malaysia starts the removal of the Travellers Pass requirement for incoming International passengers. But for now, it’s only Malaysian citizens returning to the country who are no longer required to fill the Traveller’s Pass feature in the MySejahtera app. UPDATE 30th July: The Malaysian Health Minister has announced this afternoon, that the Travellers Pass requirement will be dropped for ALL travellers from 1st August 2022.
Travellers Pass requirements
Announcing the removal, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said this would ease travel procedures for returning Malaysians, in light of the country’s improving public health situation.
… The removal of the requirement will happen in stages, and we will also be easing travel back to the country for those with social passes, student visas and permanent residence, for which the date will be announced soon.
Foreigners travelling to Malaysia must continue to provide their details to the Traveller’s Pass in MySejahtera before entering the country. Once you set up the MySejahtera app, your name will appear when you click on ‘Traveller’.
