- Carrying more than USD 10,000 (or equivalent) in cash? It must be declared to Customs.
- Some airports have QR-code eGates; you still need your passport. Rules and exemptions (for example Malaysian citizens) can change β confirm on the official page.
- Visas are separate: check whether your nationality needs one before you travel.
β Halal Check
Search Malaysia's official halal certificate directory (JAKIM MYeHALAL) β restaurants, food & drink products, slaughterhouses and more.
Unofficial search of JAKIM's public directory β a listing is not a guarantee. Look for the halal certificate displayed at the premises, and confirm on the official portal β, especially for entries marked revoked or expired. Names are as registered with JAKIM (often in Malay).
