A visitor is required to complete the Arrival/Departure Card (Imm.26) upon arrival at
the gazette entry points. This card is obtainable at any entry point, Malaysian
Representative office abroad or travel agencies.

A visitor must present his/her passport together with the duly completed arrival /
departure card to the Immigration officer on duty and he/she must ensure that the
passport or travel document is endorsed with the appropriate pass before leaving
the immigration counter.
