Hi.
I have quite a big problem as of now. I have booked for hotel quarantine and have not yet received the confirmation letter, I will most likely receive it tomorrow (19th Feb). But my flight is on the night of 19th (20th morning)
Does anyone know approximately how long mysafetravel takes to approve the hotel quarantine after submitting the…[Read more]-
Ask on the Malaysia Support Quarantine Group (MSQG)… Someone there should be able to help

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?

Yes but depends if u arrive late shop will close for sim card but u can use airport wifi as much as you can.
-
Alright. Thank you so much.
-
-
As for me, I did not see any shop there whatsoever. The arrival terminal is isolated from the rest of the airport.
-
Oh..
How long do all the procedures take once you are allowed to leave for quarantine?

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?
-
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?
-
-
-
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
-
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.
-
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

Hi,

hi everyone, just reached kuala lumpur, i thought i’d share an update.
1) You can pay for PCR on arrival but only using a credit card or malaysian ringgit
2) As long as you have all your valid documents, you won’t have any trouble
3) Permission to use public transport letter is available before immigration and PCR test, when you land, they tak…[Read more]-
Salam Mariam What documents did you attach for your home Quarantine application?

vaccination certificate, travel authorization, rental contract, passport copy

just an update, anyone under surveillance is not allowed to use buses or trains. however u can use taxis, own car or family/friend’s car
-
You mean even if you are in home quarantine you can go outdoors? This is awesome! I was locked out in the hotel for seven long long days.
-
sorry it was bad phrasing from my part. i meant traveling with taxi or other cars from klia or kl sentral to their home quarantine address
-

Hi Mariam,
Thank you for sharing this useful information.
Can u Please give me more information about the process of home quarantine, ➡️how you applied for it and how long it took for your home quarantine to be approved? ➡️How much did it cost?
And, ➡️can I apply for it as a new student? -
Can you also pay for hotel at the airport for quarantine instead of paying online??

universities were allowed to before the pandemic. i’m not sure if it is allowed now but my university has said they cannot do so. it’s best to contact your university for this as they can better guide you

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]

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.
Once you arrive at the airport at KL, ask them…[Read more]

Dua i am from UTM, you can get transportation in sharing from KLIA for around 100rm per person

But i think people travelling from ksa are not allowed home quarantine. In that case you will have to do quarantine in KL hotel.

Dua. I checked the airport website. Further to my comment and movement between Klia1 and Klia2, it seems to be possible. The link https://airports.malaysiaairports.com.my/covid-information/public-transport-services

Hi, I’m going to UTM KL in February. But still waiting for VAL.
When is ur reception date? Mine is 28th Feb.-
Yes mine’s 28th Feb too. Are you travelling from KSA?
-
Not from KSA 😅
Does it mean we need to travel 7 days prior to 28th? Cause need to quarantine first-
I’m not too sure. I remember reading it is advised to travel to Malaysia close to the reception date, so 26th/27th.
-
Hi, how long UTM took to approve your VAL application. Just asking cause mine is 5% for last few days. Need approval from uni.
-
About a week maybe. After it reached 35%, I had to submit accommodation details to EMGS, then less than 14 days later, I got eVAL

Ok thank you

Hello Mariam. I have just phoned mysafetravel and passed on to them your question. The answer is: You have to arrange for your transportation on your own. They said you can choose to take a taxi or to be transported in a friend’s car. I was also confirmed that you cannot use collective transportation such as busses, trains or planes to move to y…[Read more]

You can’t book without authorisation

oh because i heard that i need to book ticket first before applying for it

You need travel authorisation and you will get that once you apply for your eval

alright because i’m an existing student now a new one. thank you for replying:)

Hi,
You can provide a tentative date on your application if you are yet to book a flight ticket.
Thank you.

Dear EMGS Officer
Hope you have a good Day.I wanted to know whether I’ll be able to travel to Malaysia by 16th Aug, 2021, because my Flight Ticket is already booked and it’s non-refundable.
Moreover, please lift the Ban on Indian Passport… because I’ll be traveling from Oman(which is not banned) and I haven’t exit Oman for 2 years now. So…[Read more]-

I checked a news 2 days ago where they have allowed the citizens of banned countries (uk ind pak bang nep) living in other countries before the ban. It was for the employment visa holders but they might consider it for students too

Hi Arisha,
We understand that you currently in Oman. However, you are still not allowed to enter Malaysia if :
1) Nationality of the banned countries.
2)Passport country of origin is from banned countries
3) Passport place issue is from banned countries

Renew your passport brother-
But once I renew the passport, what will happen with my application, since in that it’s the old passport no. mentioned.
What did you do in such cases???

This condition on passport is literally out of my understanding.

Hi Arisha,
Kindly liaise with your institution to further advise you on the next course of action.

Dear EMGS
My application has been stuck at 32% since October.
I just wanted to know that since I am an Indian, which is included in the 23 countries ban, but I am a resident of Oman. I have been living in Oman for quite a long time now.
So will my application be banned because I’m an Indian??? But I am a resident of Oman!!

Good Day EMGS
My visa is still at 32%. May I know when will you submit my application to the Immigration Department, as my first semester is already going to be over, so I was planning to come to Malaysia and start with the second semester.
Also, My nationality is India, but I am a resident of Oman. So, it shouldn’t be a problem right? Since I am…[Read more]-
Hi,
32% indicates that your documents are ready to be submitted to the Immigration Department. However, the Immigration Department is not issuing VAL for students who are outside of Malaysia. Rest assured, we will notify institutions and students once there are updates on this matter.
Thank you.

Pre- arrival form for which purpose?
For international students, after getting e-val, travel authorization and booking the ticket, we have to submit pre-arrival form. So for that my application is getting cancelled and they are not specifying the reason as well.
I know about that. I also submitted this to my University and university take cafd of it and at airport they just asked for hotel Qurantine, covid test at airport, at the end immigration. And 1st is to provide data in MySejahata Application.
Thank you so much. I just updated information on MySejahata App, and reapplied for the pre-arrival, it was verified. Thanks a lot!
JazakAllah.
Hi, I’m from Pakistan I want to ask something about HQA u use WhatsApp or Instagram where I can find u easily
Hi. I did not apply for Home Quarantine. So I don’t know about that procedure. I’m sorry.
Okay but I have to ask one question where I transfer money for screening ?
MySafeTravel.
Where I fill this form ?
First you have to get approval for Quarantine, then update on MySejahata App. Then you can apply for pre-arrival form on EMGS site.
Could you please tell me how many days will take until home quarantine approved? My flight in 6 March
As I said before, I have not applied for home quarantine, so I don’t know about that. I’m sorry
Bro I applied last day and today I got home quarantine approved
It takes 1 to 2 days only
Hi Arisha,
Kindly drop an email to enquiry(at)emgs.com.my wth your full name and passport number.
