    Hi everyone. Did anyone had any problems filling pre-arrival form? Because I have filled it twice now, and both times, it’s status shows cancelled. This is the only think which is getting stuck for me and my fight Is on 1st March.

      Pre- arrival form for which purpose?

      • Profile picture of Arisha Khan
        Arisha Khan replied 3 years, 9 months ago

        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.

        • Profile picture of Shawal Javed
          Shawal Javed replied 3 years, 9 months ago

          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.

    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]

          Mohammed Abu Risha replied 3 years, 10 months ago

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

    • Profile picture of Mariam Arif
      Mariam Arif replied 3 years, 10 months ago

      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.

      • Profile picture of Dua Islam
        Dua Islam replied 3 years, 10 months ago

        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
