FAQ

Do I need a travel visa to visit Malaysia?

US citizens don't require a visa for stays less than 90 days. However if you plan to attend, please ensure you have a return ticket to prove you will not be staying past the 90 day period. For travelers from India and UAE, you will be required to have a travel visa.

How do I travel around Kuala Lumpur?

We recommend you download the "Grab" app as this is Malaysia's ride hailing app. To drive in Malaysia you will need to apply for an International Driving Permit. If you are considering this, please use this link listed here to apply while in the USA: https://www.ace.aaa.com/travel/advocacy/guide-to-international-driving-permits.html

Is there any food delivery options while I'm staying in Kuala Lampur?

Yes! Please download the "Grab" or "Food Panda" app to be able to order from many of the restaurants near your location.

Can I use USD for puchases and services in Malaysia?

No, the currency used in the country is Malaysian Ringgit. You can bring your USD and convert it to MYR at one of the many money exchangers in the city. The rates would most likely be more favourable in KL rather than in the US. If you do decide to convert your USD to MYR before coming to Malaysia, please request the conversion 2 weeks before your travel date as MYR is not a common currency that is requested in the US. This would also mean you would get a less favorable conversion rate.
