Located in the heart of the Asia Pacific region, Malaysia benefits from a strategic location and a tropical climate all year. It is well-known for its cultural diversity - Malay, Chinese, and Indian - and the unique ethnic communities of Sabah and Sarawak, with 13 states, three Federal Territories, and a population of more than 30 million people.

Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur, is a bustling metropolis with unique landmarks such as the KL Tower and the Petronas Twin Towers. It has everything from pristine beaches and breathtaking islands to a rich tapestry of cultures and well-preserved heritage treasures (the tallest twin towers in the world). Not only is the natural rainforest of KL Forest Eco Park located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, but the administrative capital of Putrajaya is rich with impressive architecture and bridges.

Malaysia’s other destinations such as Melaka, Penang, Langkawi, Sabah and Sarawak, each has its own charms.

The historic cities of Melaka and Georgetown are generously endowed with UNESCO World Heritage Sites, not to mention Malaysia’s first World Heritage Site of Kinabalu Park, as well as Gunung Mulu National Park.

Travel insurance is also not a prerequisite for foreigners entering the country.
