Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Czech passport needs at least 6 months validity beyond your departure date from Malaysia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa-free entry | Immigration officers at Kuala Lumpur International Airport always ask for a confirmed onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready — they will check the date matches your intended 90-day stay. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel bookings or invitation letter | Have your first night's hotel confirmation or a host's address ready. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, you need a printed booking or a digital copy on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash, cards, or bank statement | Carry at least 500 USD in cash or have a credit card with a sufficient limit. Immigration officers may ask to see proof you can support yourself during your stay. | Recommended |
MDAC is mandatory
Complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card online within 3 days before your arrival. It's free and takes 5 minutes. Save the QR code on your phone — you'll need it at immigration.
No extension possible
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you need more time, you must leave Malaysia and re-enter, or apply for a different visa before your stay expires.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at immigration counter
At Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) or other entry points, join the foreign passport queue. Have your passport, boarding pass, and return ticket ready. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp you in, and usually ask nothing else. The whole process takes 2-5 minutes if the queue is short.
2
Digital arrival card (MDAC)
Since 2024, all foreign visitors must complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online within 3 days before arrival. Fill it out at https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main. You'll get a QR code — save it on your phone. Show it at immigration if asked.
3
Collect baggage and exit
After immigration, collect your luggage from the carousel, then proceed through customs. There's usually nothing to declare for personal items. If you're bringing more than 200 cigarettes or 1 litre of alcohol, use the red channel.
