Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin will hold a press conference at 5 pm today (March 22, 2022), and is expected to announce relevant regulations on Malaysia reopening from April 1.
It is understood that he will announce the procedures for entry and exit passengers by land and air at this press conference.
The government has announced a few days ago that our country will enter the transitional phase of local epidemics (fasa peralihan ke endemik) starting from April 1, and will reopen the country.
The reopening of the border means that Malaysians who have been vaccinated will be able to travel abroad without mandatory quarantine upon return. But that depends on whether the country to which you are traveling also has open borders.
Foreigners who hold legal documents can also travel to Malaysia. Those who have received two doses of the vaccine do not need to be quarantined. They must undergo a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test 2 days before entering Malaysia. Whether they are tested on the spot at the airport or elsewhere, they must undergo a professional rapid antigen detection reagent test (RTK-Ag) 24 hours after entry.
