PETALING JAYA: Malaysians who wish to travel to Taiwan for business or pleasure will still need to get a visa for now.
The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office here said Malaysia was still on the “temporarily suspended” list of visa-free entry following reviews of Taiwan’s pandemic situation and healthcare capacity.
“Also, we need to consider our medical preparedness so that we can have a gradual and stable opening,” he said yesterday. Malaysia, however, was placed on the “temporarily suspended” list for visa-exempt entry, together with Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Brunei, the Philippines, Russia, Chile, Israel, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
As for business travellers and students, Hong said their visa applications must be supported by the relevant documents, such as an invitation, notice or letter – similar to the process in pre-pandemic times. Malaysian Chinese Tourism Association president Paul Paw said no tourists had been allowed into the country, according to the Taiwan Tourism Bureau Office in Kuala Lumpur.
