Information required for Sabah visa Sabah phone card guide

Here is the guide about Sabah’s visa. You can take a closer look. Now the editor will talk to you in detail about some related matters. You can also pay attention to it when you go there. Let’s go together. Go check it out. Air tickets

The direct flight to Kota Kinabalu is more expensive, and the flight via Kuala Lumpur takes a long way around. We finally bought a China Southern Airlines flight to Kota Kinabalu via Guangzhou. To go to Kapalai, you need to transfer to Tawau. For domestic flights in Malaysia, we bought AirAsia. However, what surprised us was that the one purchased on Ctrip was dozens of yuan cheaper than AirAsia’s official website. We were not sure what the operation was. Visa

My husband arranged the visa. He said that Malaysia’s visa policy changes frequently, so it is recommended that you confirm it before planning.

Now there are mainly the following types:

Sabah applies for Malaysian visas, which are divided into sticker visas and electronic visas (there are two types, please pay attention):

1. Sticker visa means preparing the documents and sending them to the consulate for processing. Generally, it can be applied for certain items;

2. Electronic visa EVISA (30-day stay), application website www.windowmalaysia.my

3. Electronic visa

ENTRI visa-free program (15-day stay), the application website is the same as above. It should be noted that entry into Malaysia’s six international airports can only be done through mainland China Airlines ( The six airports are: KLIA/KLIA2 Airport in Kuala Lumpur; Penang

Bayan Lepas Airport; Kota Bahru Sultan Ismail Petra Airport; Langkawi Airport; Kota Kinabalu Airport in Sabah; Kuching Airport)

If the time is within 15 days, ENTRI is recommended. Prepare your passport and 2-inch photo with white background and apply on the website above. It is 160RMB/person. After receiving the confirmation email, type it out and it can be used as a visa. It seems that the Malaysian Ringgit cannot be exchanged in China. You can either take it directly at the airport after entering the country or exchange it with cash in RMB. It is recommended to apply for a Hua Xia Bank Card, which will waive the handling fee for the first time you withdraw money overseas every day.

The exchange rate we use is about 1:1.63, which means 1 Malaysian Ringgit (RM) is equivalent to 1.63RMB. Please note that the ringgit is written as RM, don’t make a mistake when looking at the price. Phone Card

We bought one on Taobao before departure, but my husband didn’t check it in advance. After I took it out after entering the country, I found that it had to be activated in China in advance to use it, so I had to buy another one temporarily. In comparison, it is better to buy it locally and use it directly. 10G traffic for 7 days costs about 20 MYR, which is about 10 RMB more expensive than the one on Taobao, but the one bought on Taobao only has 2G traffic.

Be sure to buy a phone card. As for why, we will mention it later in the domestic transportation in Malaysia. Domestic Transportation

Kota Kinabalu-Tawau: Flight, it takes about 40 to 50 minutes

Tawau-Semporna: Bus, most hotels have airport pick-up and drop-off

Semporna-Kapalai: Speedboat at the resort

In Kota Kinabalu City: Due to the prevalence of car culture, public transportation in Malaysia is not very developed. Our transportation in Kota Kinabalu City It mainly relies on Grap, a taxi-hailing app, similar to our Didi and Meituan. This App requires registration with a local mobile phone number for easy contact. The difference between this app and domestic taxi-hailing apps is that the fare is fixed after you set the destination, so you don’t have to worry about the driver taking detours and robbing customers.
