Visa requirements for Malaysian citizens

Visa requirements for Malaysian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Malaysia.

As of 2024, Malaysian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 183 countries and territories, ranking the Malaysian passport 12th in the world according to the Henley Passport Index,^[1] making it the 2nd highest-ranked passport in Southeast Asia after Singapore, the 5th highest-ranked in Asia^[2] and the 2nd highest-ranked passport in the developing world and among Muslim-majority countries, just behind United Arab Emirates.

Although Malaysian passports bear the inscription "This passport is valid for all countries except Israel" and the Malaysian government officially allows travel to Israel for Christian and Muslim pilgrims only, Israel still issues visas to Malaysian citizens according to its rules.

In September 2017, Malaysia announced a ban on all Malaysian citizens from travelling to North Korea, in the wake of strained Malaysia–North Korea relations following the assassination of Kim Jong-nam at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.^[3]
