Malaysia extends visa-free entry period for HKSAR passport holders

HKSAR passport holders can now stay in Malaysia for up to 90 days without a visa.

The Malaysian government has granted Hong Kong SAR passport holders longer visa-free stay in the country, increasing the period from one month to 90 days.

"Malaysia is along the Belt and Road. Under the Belt and Road Initiative, this extension of the period of visa-free entry will bring greater travel convenience to holders of HKSAR passports and strengthen the tourism, cultural and economic ties between the two places,” a spokesperson from Malaysia’s immigration department said.

Chief Executive John Lee welcomed this development, saying the new arrangement will further boost the connections and mutual benefits between the two places.

As of today, 168 countries and territories have granted visa-free access or visa-on-arrival to holders of HKSAR passports.
