Malaysia to Pilot Overstay Fines for Foreign Nationals

Malaysia’s Immigration Department will introduce, on a trial basis, a fines scheme for foreign nationals who overstay illegally.

Currently, when a traveler exceeds their authorized period of stay, penalties are determined after court proceedings. Going forward, for overstays of up to 90 days, only a monetary fine will be imposed.

The fines are as follows: for an overstay of up to 30 days, 30 Malaysian ringgit per day; for 31 to 60 days, 1,000 Malaysian ringgit; for 61 to 90 days, 2,000 Malaysian ringgit.
