India Advises Citizens Against Using Malaysia Visa-Free Entry for Employment
India's High Commission in Kuala Lumpur has issued an advisory warning Indian nationals against using Malaysia's 30-day visa-free entry to seek employment. The advisory highlights a rise in individuals misled by agents promising jobs, leading to overstaying, illegal status, exploitation, and legal consequences. It clarifies that the visa-free facility is intended solely for tourism and social visits, urging travelers to obtain valid work permits and carry proper documentation such as return tickets and hotel bookings.
