Entry Requirements & Visas
To ensure a smooth arrival for your Kuala Lumpur Tours or Borneo Wildlife Holidays, all guests must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond their stay. While many nationalities enjoy visa-free entry for social visits, we recommend verifying specific requirements with a Malaysian Representative Office well in advance.
To facilitate a seamless entry, please be prepared to provide: A confirmed return or onward travel ticket, Proof of sufficient funds for the duration of your stay and A completed Digital Arrival Card, which should be presented alongside your passport to Immigration Officers.
For further details, please visit the official portal of the Immigration Department of Malaysia

Local Customs & Etiquette
Embracing local traditions enriches your Tailored Tours.
Gentle Gestures: When pointing, it is polite to use the right thumb over a closed fist rather than the forefinger. Always use your right hand for greetings or exchanging items.
Sacred Spaces: When visiting mosques or temples, please remove your shoes. We recommend modest attire; however, many sites provide robes for visitors if needed.
Social Graces: In Malaysian homes, removing shoes is a sign of respect. While handshakes are common, a polite nod and smile is often preferred when being introduced to Muslim ladies.
