India on Tuesday advised its nationals in Malaysia not to use the country’s 30-day visa-free entry facility to seek employment.<\/p>\n
In an advisory posted on X, the High Commission of India in Kuala Lumpur said it has noticed a “noticeable increase” in Indian nationals arriving in Malaysia who are “misled by unscrupulous agents with false job promises.”<\/p>\n
The High Commission said the 30-day visa-free facility is meant for tourism and social visits and does not permit employment.<\/p>\n
“There is a noticeable increase in Indian nationals arriving in Malaysia using the 30-day visa-free facility to seek employment. The High Commission of India, Kuala Lumpur, alerts Indian nationals travelling to Malaysia on tourist visas against taking up employment,” the post said.<\/p>\n
“Many Indian nationals are misled by unscrupulous agents with false job promises, leading to overstay, illegal status, exploitation, detention and legal action. 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,” it said.<\/p>\n
The advisory mentions that “genuine tourists must carry valid and verifiable documentation such as a confirmed return ticket, hotel booking, online submission of the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) three days before the arrival date, and a passport with minimum a 6-month validity, to avoid any immigration-related issues on arrival in Malaysia.”<\/p>\n
The high commission has “strictly advised” not to travel to Malaysia for work\/employment purposes without a work permit or visa with reference (VDR). (Agencies)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
