What You Must Know About Trips To Malaysia by tolex34(m): 12:12pm On Apr 18, 2013
NIGERIANS who are intending to migrate to
Malaysia for various reasons and those
resident in Malaysia should become
acquainted with the local rules and
regulations that are bidding in Malaysia, in
order not to fall into any kind of trouble.
Nigeria’s laws and customs are quite different
from Malaysia, and this makes it important
that prior to migration, you have developed
the mindset that is expected to make you
freely interrelate with Malaysia’s laws and
customs, as well as connecting with the
Nigeria embassy in Kuala Lumpur about your
trip for a better consular protection and
updates concerning important safety and
security information in cases of emergencies.
Malaysia: It is important for you to understand
a bit of Malaysia description as a multi-ethnic
country, having Islam as her official religion,
and is being practised by over 60 percent of
the country’s population. Malaysia is the
official language of the country, and although
English Language is spoken widely, migrants
could still avail themselves with the
opportunity of having access to their official
language (Malaysia) for easier inter-relations.
Entry permit: You have to possess a passport
that is valid for at least six months and upon
entry, Malaysia immigration officials is
mandated to place an entry stamp in your
passport to specify your validity period of
stay. Migrants generally are given a period of
ninety days validity period of stay by Malaysia
immigration officials, but since this is not a
guarantee, you should endeavour to check the
stamp in your passport quickly after you
enter, to be certain of the expiration of your
entry permit. Travellers to Malaysia are
electronically fingerprinted on arrival, and
again on departure. While in Malaysia, you
should carry your passport which contains
the Malaysian entry stamp and associated
sticker with you at all times.
Eastern Malaysia: To be able to travel into the
eastern Malaysian states will require that you
declare your passport to immigration
authorities because these parts of Malaysia
have their own immigration authorities who
will determine if you can enter and for how
long. It is very important for you to be
mindful of the period of stay that is allotted to
you in order not to exceed it.
Over staying your visa validity: You would be
detained by Malaysian immigration authorities
if you overstay your permit. The Malaysia
immigration authorities routinely detain
foreigners who overstay their social visit visas
and once you are detected, a fine or
detention and legal proceedings may be
imposed upon you.
In view of the foregoing herein, you should
check your visa status periodically, and follow
immigration laws and regulations strictly to
avoid any unnecessary form of detention in
connection with overstay of visa by the
Malaysia immigration officials. Detentions may
last from a few hours to several weeks, or
more, depending upon the nature of the
violation, pending a formal hearing.
Safety and security threats: It is imperative in
this case, that you register your presence and
itinerary in Malaysia with the Nigeria embassy
as soon as you enter Malaysia. This will enable
you receive updated safety and security
information that will guide you through your
stay in Malaysia and also be notified in cases
of any possible attacks from any extremists
groups.
The Nigeria embassy also is mandated to
draw your attention to the risks surrounding
travels to the eastern islands and coastal
regions of the state of Sabah, Malaysia. Of
particular concern are resorts (and
transportation to and from them) in isolated
areas. If you visit these areas you should
exercise caution, remain alert to your
surroundings, and use good personal security
measures.
