Indian migration and visa misuse in Malaysia

Overview

The Indian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur issued an advisory warning Indian nationals against using Malaysia’s 30-day visa-free entry facility to seek employment. The mission noted a “noticeable increase” in citizens arriving under this scheme for job hunting, often misled by “unscrupulous agents” offering fraudulent jobs.

Officials emphasized that misusing the visa-free facility for work violates Malaysian immigration laws. The High Commission warned that individuals attempting to work without valid permits face risks such as exploitation, detention, and legal action.
