      Ask on the Malaysia Support Quarantine Group (MSQG)… Someone there should be able to help

    Hi. Has anyone here booked for hotel quarantine directly through hotel instead of mysafetravel website? Please let me know. I was told that I’m not allowed to travel if I don’t book from mysafetravel.
    Thank you.

      If you log into safetravel, it will give you the option to register and book the hotel or submit a proof that you booked a hotel.

        Mohammed Abu Risha, how do you submit proof that you booked a hotel in Mysafetravel?

          If I booked a hotel outside of Mysafetravel, how do I submit that proof in Mysafetravel?

    Hi. I recently applied for Home Quarantine and it was rejected because I am travelling from Saudi Arabia which is a high risk country.
    I am required to undergo quarantine at “designated quarantine station”
    Do I need to book a hotel in this case? Where is this “designated quaratine station”?

    Yes Sahil. I have just applied for eVISA and the transaction was successful. I think going to the Malaysian Embassy along with your application form would be more feasible in this situation.

    Ah I see. That’s what I was wondering. Whether or not I can leave the airport depending on my layover period.
    So basically, I will need to quarantine once I land in KL even though I’ll be there for a couple of hours.
    Thanks for all your help

    Thank you for your reply.
    Can this not be decided before I reach KL to avoid any problems?
    Can I contact someone to ensure the quarantine process from here itself?

      I am a little bit confused. Does this mean you have not applied for home quarantine or hotel quarantine yet?

    Hello.
    I will have a connecting flight from KL to Johor and if I have a long stay in KL, am I allowed to leave the airport to go to my relative’s house or not?
    If not, will they provide me with hotel to be quarantined until my next flight to Johor?

    • Profile picture of Mohammed Abu Risha
      Mohammed Abu Risha replied 3 years, 10 months ago

      1. Staying in Kuala Lumpur means you need to be on a quarantine plan either in a hotel or at home.
      2. Upon arrival, talk to the myeg personnel and explain to them the situation. See if they can give you the approval for quarantine at a relative’s house. What matters to them are: number of people in the house, number of rooms with attached…[Read more]

        By the way, if it is a ‘connection’ flight, what will happen to your checked luggage? Will it be taken to Johor? Or will you be able to recover it upon arrival at Kuala Lumpur?

      i don’t think you’re allowed to leave the airport unless your layover is more than 24 hours. even then you definitely need to check with the relevant authorities since you need to quarantine regardless of whether you have a connecting flight since you want to exit the airport

      • Profile picture of Mohammed Abu Risha
        Mohammed Abu Risha replied 3 years, 10 months ago

        Totally agree with you Mariam This is what I know. The confusion for Dua results from the word connected flight. Once a traveller has stamped their passport, any upcoming flight is a new trip not a connection. This means that any trip by plane afterwards must be made only after quarantine.

    Thank you so much for all the information. But I think I will book a connecting flight to Johor from KSA. One stop at KL.
    however, I will check out the link you have provided.
    It would be great if you knew anyone who goes to UTM Johor.
    Thanks again. 🙏🏻

      Check for two things:
      1. The time for the connection flight should be comfortably ample to accommodate for your time that you will sepnd at the health covid test station.

      2. If your flight to Johor will depart from KLIA2, you will need transportation from KLIA1. There is usually a train but am not sure if it is currently in use, given the covid.…[Read more]

      I don’t know anyone traveling to Johor and if it were for me I would always play solo.

      That you are traveling alone for the first time means you think very slowly and be very calm. None of us ever can have accurate information because things are fast evolving to keep pace with covid developments.

      I have just calculated the grab taxi fare from the airport to Johor UTM. The prices shows less than MYR300 which I think is more convenient than any other option and is indeed not expensive especially since this is your first time to come.

      Alternatively, ask at the arrival station if you are allowed to take a taxi to go to the bus station and…[Read more]
