Malaysian Passport

The Malaysian Passport (Pasport Malaysia) is an official travel document issued to Malaysian citizens by the Immigration Department of Malaysia. It serves as proof of Malaysian nationality and allows international travel, offering visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to many countries worldwide, particularly within Asia and other regions.

The Malaysian passport is biometric, containing a microchip that stores the passport holder’s fingerprint and digital photograph. It also includes advanced security features such as holograms, watermarks, and machine-readable zones to prevent forgery and ensure authenticity, complying with international standards for secure travel documents.
