VISA required?


Hi



you will be issued with a 3month tourist visa on arrival.




';Visa on Arrival'; or VOA is another term in Malaysia that does not apply to citizens of many Commonwealth Countries including New Zealand. VOA in many asian countries refer to applying for a visa upon arrival in that country; together with a fee. A VOA application usually involves form IM. 47 – Pin. 1/97,Confirmed return ticket, sponsor’s details (name, identity card / passport, full address and contact no.) and address in Malaysia.





In your case JRElliott; since you are a citizen of NZ; you just need to fill in the disembarkation/embarkation card (they will give this to you on the plane before you land); pass through customs with this card and your passport; they will stamp your other half of the card and your passport with the entry dates. You keep the white card piece in your passport and surrender it before you leave the country. That%26#39;s about it; nothing else, you don%26#39;t have to apply anything or pay for any visa on arrival if you are staying for less than 3 months in Malaysia.




Whilst I do not want to argue with the technicalities of words with GT2K . .





The stamp in your passport is your %26#39;visa on arrival%26#39; or the %26#39;Malaysian Immigration visit pass%26#39;, and is your permit or visa as a New Zealand citizen to stay and remain in Malaysia for 90 days on a social vist. It is your responsibility to ensure that your passport has such a stamp otherwise you are considered an illegal. Under Section 6(3) of the Malaysian Immigration Act 1959/63 it is an offence not to have a valid entry endorsement / vist pass in your passport. So, call it what you will you%26#39;ve got to have the stamp!





Unlike say, when travelling in Europe on my British passport, I will receive no stamps or endorsements.





The white card is not always collected when you leave the country (I have several at home), but your passport will be scanned and electronicly the immigration system updated.





Enjoy!




sorry should have said . . .





So, call it what you will you%26#39;ve got to have the stamp in your passport that will be valid for 3 months!
