Can Singapore Citizens Stay in Malaysia Without Visa?

No, a Singaporean cannot stay indefinitely in Malaysia without a visa, but they do have special entry privileges under the Malaysia-Singapore arrangements.

Here’s the breakdown:

✅ Short-Term Visits

Singapore citizens do not need a visa for visits up to 30 days (or sometimes 90 days depending on purpose) under normal tourist entry.

They can enter Malaysia using their passport or the Malaysia-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) or land checkpoints.

❌ Long-Term or Indefinite Stay

Staying beyond 30 days requires:

Long-term visa (e.g., Malaysia My Second Home – MM2H program).

Work permit or employment pass if working.

Student pass if studying.

Without one of these permits, overstaying can lead to:

Fines

Detention

Ban from re-entering Malaysia

???? Special Programs

Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H): A popular long-term residency program for foreigners, including Singaporeans, which allows stays of up to 10 years, renewable.

Employment Pass: For those working in Malaysia; length depends on the job contract.

✅ In summary:

A Singaporean can visit Malaysia visa-free for short trips, but cannot stay indefinitely without obtaining a long-term visa, work permit, or special residency program."
