visa for Malaysia?
Hi, can anyone confirm whether a tourist visa is required to visit Malaysia. I have searched the net which seems to suggest a UK citizen doesn't require a visa, unfortunately I can't check this on the HC site as the page is unavailable. I'm assuming if not a visa will be issued on entry as in Thailand? If this is the case how long can you stay in the country. Any help would be appreciated.

No visa required and, I think, no maximum stay.

Re: visa for Malaysia?
that's great thanks, we were thinking of spending a few months over the winters there but wasn't sure about the visa. I don't really want to go down the MM2H route, only wanting to rent not buy. So if we get 3 months and possible extension that would be ideal.
Anyone know the best place to stay in Penang?

Re: visa for Malaysia?
Thanks for the info, it's a good idea but wonder if anyone on a tourist visa has done this. We have been doing winters in Goa (it's had it's day now after 10 years) but have decided this year to take a month out to explore Malaysia and decide where we think would be best for a winter stay and infact even if we only got 3 months it wouldn't cause too many problems. Thanks again

Hi Amazing Grace, thanks for your posting. Do you know if it is possible to leave at the end of a visa and re enter Malaysia say after a couple of weeks, is there a limit to the number of times you can have a visa in a year? Look forward to hearing from you.

VISA REQUIREMENT
i) Nationals of these countries do not require visa to enter Malaysia for all purpose of visits.
LEICHTENSTEIN, NETHERLANDS, SWITZERLANDS, St.MARINO, SINGAPORE, BRUNEI All COMMONWEALTH countries except INDIA, PAKISTAN, BANGLADESH, SRI LANKA, NIGERIA.
I am asuming that you are a UK Nationla, so you do not need an entry visa.
Regards,
Jamel

Re: visa for Malaysia?
you can do the visa run to Phuket to extend the visa if you are staying in Penang, there is a direct flight to Phuket by firefly, community airline daily. I do not think you will be facing problem if you are just running for once or twice. Since you are going back to UK after the winter.
