Residency Visa-free stays New Zealand Malaysia
Do New Zealand citizens need a visa for Malaysia?
No visa, up to 90 days
No. New Zealand citizens can stay in Malaysia for up to 90 days per visit without a visa.
How the days are counted
The limit applies to each visit. Leaving and coming straight back does not guarantee a fresh allowance, and a pattern of back-to-back stays can be refused at the border.
Staying longer than a holiday?
Visa days are one count. Long stays can also start a tax residency clock. See how Residency tracks tax residency.
Entry rules change, and border officers have the final say. Confirm with Malaysia's official immigration site before you travel.
