It is estimated that 135 countries and territories granted visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to Malaysian passport holders. Visa issued prior to arrival or pre-arrangement required for countries or territories not mentioned below.[1]
Where visa-free access is permitted, such access is not necessarily a right, and admission may technically be at the discretion of border enforcement officers. Visitors engaging in activities other than tourism may require a visa or work permit.
According to the The Henley Visa Restrictions Index-Global Ranking 2010 which was compiled by Henley & Partners, Malaysian passport was ranked no.13 in travel freedom and visa-free access, after Japan (no.6), Singapore (no.11) and on par with South Korea.
