The Indian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur has cautioned Indian nationals travelling to Malaysia on tourist visas against taking up employment. In an advisory, the High Commission said that there is a noticeable increase in Indian nationals arriving in Malaysia using the 30-day visa-free facility to seek employment. Many Indian nationals are misled by unscrupulous agents with false job promises, leading to overstay, illegal status, exploitation, detention and legal action. The advisory stated that this is a clear violation of immigration rules, as the visa-free entry facility which permits Indian passport holders to stay in Malaysia for up to 30 days is granted for tourism and social visits only.
The High Commission said genuine tourists must carry valid and verifiable documentation, such as confirmed return ticket, hotel booking, online submission of the Malaysian Digital Arrival Card three days before the arrival date, and a passport with minimum of 6 months’ validity.
