What should I pay attention to when going to Malaysia?

For China citizens, Malaysia is one of the easiest countries to obtain visas. A 30-day single round-trip personal tourist visa does not require any additional supporting materials. You can sign the visa at any time and get it in three days.

Visa materials: passport with a remaining validity of more than 6 months, 1 2-inch photo.

Visa fee: 80 yuan.

Visa time: Monday to Thursday (9: 00-12: 00; 14:00- 16:00); Friday (9: 00-12: 00; 14:30- 16:00)。 Send the sign in the morning and get it back in the afternoon.

Special note: tourists can apply through travel agencies or apply for tourist visas themselves. Self-management needs to be delivered in person, and many colleagues must all be present, and one person cannot act as an agent.

Landing visa: China tourists can apply for visas on arrival when they enter Malaysia, but they can only leave the country with a third-party visa, and the cost of visas on arrival is as high as Malaysian ringgit, so visas on arrival are not recommended.

Transit visa: China tourists going to a third country via Malaysia (for example, from China to Singapore via Malaysia) can apply for a transit visa if their stay in Malaysia does not exceed 120 hours. You need to show your exit ticket. If the arrival and departure are in the same country (for example, from Singapore to Malaysia and back to Singapore), you cannot apply for a transit visa. At present, transit visas are free, but it is reported that RM visa fees may be charged for 30 yuan in the future.

Cash: Malaysia's currency name is Malaysian ringgit, abbreviated as "RM", and 1 ringgit is equal to 100 cent (sen). Coins are 1, 5, 10 (called "1"), 20 (called "2") and 50 (called "5"). The denominations of banknotes are 1 RM, RM 2, RM 5,1RM 0, RM 20, RM 50 and RM 100.

Credit cards and traveler's checks: Credit cards are accepted in larger shopping malls, hotels and restaurants, but only Malaysian cash can be used in roadside stalls and tea shops. Using a dual-currency credit card will cause some exchange rate losses, which is relatively more cost-effective than using cash.

Traveler's checks: Traveler's checks can be exchanged at banks or authorized money exchange offices all over the country, and passports must be presented when they are exchanged.

Foreign currency: foreign currency cannot be used directly in most occasions. Foreign currency can be converted into ringgit in banks or authorized exchange shops. Generally speaking, when exchanging money locally, the exchange rates at airports and bank counters are the worst, while the exchange rates at exchange shops located in streets and large department stores are better. But be careful not to change money in illegal money exchange shops to avoid being cheated.

UnionPay in Malaysia

Consumption: Nearly 100 merchants in Malaysia can accept UnionPay cards. The major cities that accept UnionPay cards are Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Malacca. When spending in some brand stores, consumers with UnionPay cards can also enjoy different discounts and concessions. China UnionPay will directly convert Malaysian ringgit into RMB when spending by special merchants of UnionPay, and there is no currency conversion fee, which is slightly better than other types of credit cards.

Cash withdrawal: UnionPay cards can be cashed at ATMs of some banks, and ATMs that can use UnionPay cards are all labeled with UnionPay logo. The maximum withdrawal amount is RM 65,438+0,000, and the ATM bank will charge a handling fee of RM 65,438+0.2 each, and the card-issuing bank will also charge different amounts of handling fees.
