  • Employment Pass or work visa: required separately for employment, arranged through a Malaysian employer

Entry conditions

  • Hong Kong SAR passport holders may stay visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism or business purposes
  • Employment is not permitted under the visa-free arrangement
  • Complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card online before arrival, then present your passport and MDAC confirmation at the border
  • Extensions beyond 30 days require an application at an Immigration Department office in Malaysia before the initial period expires, though extensions are not guaranteed
  • Overstaying can result in fines, detention, or entry bans depending on severity

Fees & processing time

  • Visa-free entry: no fee
  • Digital Arrival Card: free to complete online
  • No VFS/BLS service fee applies for standard visa-free entry
  • Total cost for visa-free entry: USD/MYR 0
  • If an extension is granted, a modest fee applies at the Immigration Department, processed same-day in most cases

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Complete the Digital Arrival Card within the 3-day window before arrival, as late or missing submissions can delay immigration clearance
  • Carry proof of onward travel and accommodation, as these are commonly requested despite visa-free status
  • Malaysia is a popular short-haul destination for Hong Kong travelers, so book accommodation and flights early during peak holiday seasons
  • Extensions are not routinely granted, so plan your 30-day window carefully if a longer stay is needed
  • Keep a digital and printed copy of your MDAC confirmation in case of connectivity issues at the airport
