KUALA LUMPUR – The International Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) has announced that all categories of travellers who are citizens of Malaysia and Singapore will be able to enter Singapore and Malaysia respectively via the land Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) effective December 20, due to increased public demand.
Holders of Malaysian permanent resident status can continue to enter Malaysia via the land VTL.
