Visa free travel to Asean countries for a month
KUALA LUMPUR: People from Asean countries can now travel to any country in the grouping for one month without visas, except for Myanmar.
Immigration director-general Datuk Mahmood Adam said Myanmar was excluded for security reasons as the country was still mired in crisis.
"Previously, tourists from Asean countries were only allowed to travel not more than 17 or 18 days without visas," he told reporters after chairing the Asean heads of immmigration and heads of consular meeting on Wednesday.
Mahmood said the extension was aimed at making travel in the region easy and encouraging them to stay longer.
"We also discussed ways to increase the functions and concepts of Asean passports.
"There is a need to standardise the functions and concepts of our passports as this will help in identifying genuine passports from fakes," he added. - Bernama
