As COVID measures lifted, all travelers are welcome to visit Malaysia regardless of vaccination status. You do not need to worry about needing to take additional tests or being quarantined upon arrival at the border.<\/p>\n<p>Travelers may be requested to download and activate the MySejahtera application before or after arrival to Malaysia to indicate their COVID-19 risk status while staying in Malaysia. The COVID-19 risk status in MySejahtera may be checked upon entering the premises.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Essential Documents You Need to Carry with You<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You won\u2019t want your planned road trip to be canceled just because you forgot to bring a few sheets of paper. When traveling to Malaysia from Singapore by road, make sure to always carry the following documents with you, as they are mandatory:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Passport<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your passport must be valid for more than 6 months in order for you to enter Malaysia. Remember to check whether your passport has been properly stamped both at the entry and exit immigration checkpoints.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Driving License<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You need to hold a valid driving license to be able to drive in both Singapore and Malaysia. Your National Driver\u2019s License is accepted in Malaysia without the need to apply for an International Driving Permit. With that, you are then free to drive on Malaysian roads during your stay of less than 90 days.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>VEP<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motor vehicles registered in Singapore need a VEP.
