India Warns Citizens Against Misusing Malaysia Visa-Free Entry Policy

India's High Commission in Kuala Lumpur has issued an advisory to its citizens regarding Malaysia's visa-free entry policy. The commission noted that there has been a noticeable increase in Indians misusing this facility for job-seeking purposes.

The High Commission warned that those who do so could face overstaying, illegal status, exploitation, detention, and legal action.

According to the advisory, unscrupulous agents are misleading many Indian nationals with false employment promises. The visa-free facility is strictly meant for tourism and social visits only.

Indian nationals traveling to Malaysia for work must obtain a valid work permit or Visa With Reference (VDR).
