With the re-opening, it is expected that planning for international assignments and business trips to Malaysia – which have been much delayed or cancelled due to the entry restrictions – can now resume. While MTP approval is not required, travellers are still required to observe entry requirements imposed by the Ministry of Health.
Companies and global-mobility professionals in charge of the immigration affairs of their employees, as well as immigration counsel, should be aware of these updates to stay current on restrictions while planning for Malaysia-inbound business travel and assignments to Malaysia.
