PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has clarified that there are no changes to visa requirements or immigration policies specifically affecting Malaysian citizens travelling to or residing in the United States.
In an official statement issued on Saturday, the ministry — commonly known as Wisma Putra — addressed concerns stemming from recent media reports on immigration developments in the US.
“While recent reports have highlighted immigration-related developments in the United States, we wish to clarify that these developments are not specifically targeted at Malaysians,” the ministry said.
However, the ministry urged all Malaysian citizens planning to travel to the US, or currently residing there, to remain informed of any updates issued by American authorities regarding entry, visa, and immigration policies.
Wisma Putra added that it will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates should any changes affecting Malaysian citizens arise.
“All travellers are encouraged to consult official sources for verified information and to exercise due diligence when planning their travel or staying abroad,” the statement read.
The ministry also reminded Malaysians in the US to comply with local laws, immigration regulations, and the terms of their visas, which are strictly enforced.
