Malaysia restricts multiple entry visas for 31 countries including Bangladesh

According to a notice from Malaysia's Immigration Department, from September 1, 2026, multiple-entry visas will not be issued across the board to citizens of all countries.

However, multiple-entry visas will be issued for specific travel purposes such as business, medical treatment, fly and cruise, and wedding tourism.

Malaysia's new decision applies only to visit or social visit visas. It has no direct impact on work permits or employment-related visas of Bangladeshis or other foreign workers employed in the country.
