Good to know
- It is free. The only official address is imigresen-online.imi.gov.my — beware look-alike websites that charge a fee.
- 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 — confirm on the official page.
- Visas are separate: check whether your nationality needs one before you travel.
✅ Halal Check
Search Malaysia's official halal certificate directory (JAKIM MYeHALAL) — restaurants, food & drink products, slaughterhouses and more.
Unofficial search of JAKIM's public directory — a listing is not a guarantee. Look for the halal certificate displayed at the premises, and confirm on the official portal ↗, especially for entries marked revoked or expired. Names are as registered with JAKIM (often in Malay).
