India also eases on pre-flight Covid-19 RT-PCR test as it is no longer mandatory for fully vaccinated travelers from Malaysia.
SHAH ALAM: Fully vaccinated Malaysians entering India are no longer required to undergo quarantine from today, says Indian High Commission in Malaysia.
The pre-flight Covid-19 RT-PCR test will not be mandatory for fully vaccinated travelers from Malaysia.
"With the world largest vaccination drive, led by India’s Aatmanirbhar vaccine leadership, and Covid protocols in place, India has relaxed travel restrictions for travelers coming to India from Malaysia.
"High Commission of India wishes Malaysian travelers a safe and memorable stay in India,” said the High Commission through a Facebook posting.
While there is no formal mutual recognition of Covid-19 certification signed between Malaysia and India, both governments recognise the vaccination certificates issued.
On Nov 15, India reopened its borders for tourism for the first time since the pandemic with ease on certain restrictions depending on the countries.
According to an article published on CNN Travel, those vaccinated with WHO-recognised vaccines or in countries which have agreements of mutual recognition of vaccine certificates with India do not have to undergo a test on arrival effective today.
It said as of Feb 10, it covers 82 countries including the US and the UK, and international passengers will be requested to "self-monitor their health" for 14 days following their arrival.
All passengers are advised to kindly check the updated travel guidelines before travelling from https://mohfw.gov.in.
