Payment, transit and practical tips

Emergency numbers: General 999 · Police 999 · Ambulance 999
Driving side: Left
eSIM availability: Hotlink offers an eSIM signup flow with passport and facial identity checks. Device and plan compatibility still apply.
Cash declaration: Declare cash and bearer instruments at USD 10000 equivalent or more pending confirmation: the general page includes equality, while the January 2025 leaflet says exceeding. Ringgit above the threshold also needs prior central-bank permission. Sources differ; confirm with the embassy or your airline.
Duty-free allowance: Published personal allowances include 1 litre of alcoholic drink, 3 new garments, 1 new pair of shoes, food up to MYR 150, and other eligible goods up to MYR 1000 by air or MYR 500 by other transport. Product exclusions and conditions apply.
Medicines: The health ministry permits up to 1 month of personal or accompanying immediate-family medication. Keep original packaging and an English prescription or translation stating medicine, dose and quantity; declare controlled medicines. Customs also lists a permit requirement for prescription medicines, so confirm the product-specific permit before travel.
Overstaying: Overstay can lead to a fine and detention. Published Immigration pages disagree on whether MYR 10000 is a minimum or maximum court fine; no per-day calculator is justified. The compounding schedule separately gives a maximum of MYR 3000. Sources differ; confirm with the embassy or your airline.
Leaving the country: Keep the entry pass and leave by its expiry. Carry the passport for travel between Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah or Sarawak; British guidance describes additional immigration checks and stamps.
