Check before you travel
- Official IMI pages list only the visa-required countries (and VDR-exempt countries); the 90/30/14-day split by nationality is from Timatic-based secondary summaries and was not found on an IMI or KLN page. Treat stay lengths as indicative.
- Timor-Leste (ASEAN member since Oct 2025) not found on any list; treated as OTHERS.
- MDAC exemptions and the 3-day submission window taken from secondary summaries; the official MDAC page only links infographics.
- eNTRI pages for Chinese and Indian nationals still appear on the IMI menu but both nationalities are currently visa exempt.
