India Advises Citizens Not to Use Malaysia's 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 facility to seek employment. The mission noted a rise in travellers misled by agents promising jobs, which can lead to overstaying, illegal status, exploitation, detention, and legal action. The visa-free entry is strictly for tourism and social visits. Indian nationals seeking work must obtain valid work permits or visas and carry verifiable travel documents to avoid immigration issues.
