Airport Clearance When Foreign Worker Entry Malaysia

When foreign workers enter Malaysia, they need to go through a series of airport clearance procedures, including:

1. Arrival and Disembarkation:

   • Upon landing, foreign workers disembark the aircraft and proceed to the terminal.

2. Immigration Clearance:

   • Document Check: Workers present their passport, visa (if applicable), and any other required entry documents (such as the Foreign Worker Card or the Temporary Employment Visit Pass).
   • Biometric Data: Fingerprints and photographs may be taken as part of the security procedure.
   • Interview: An immigration officer may ask questions to verify the purpose of the visit and ensure compliance with visa regulations.
   • Approval: If everything is in order, the passport is stamped, and the worker is allowed to enter Malaysia.

3. Health and Safety Checks:

   • Health Declaration: Workers may be required to fill out a health declaration form, especially in the context of ongoing health concerns like COVID-19.
   • Screening: Temperature checks and possible health screenings are conducted.

4. Customs Clearance:

   • Baggage Claim: Workers collect their baggage from the designated carousel.
   • Customs Declaration: Any goods that need to be declared must be reported. Workers go through the Green Lane (nothing to declare) or Red Lane (goods to declare).

5. Security Checks:

   • Baggage Screening: All baggage may be subjected to x-ray screening and inspection.
   • Personal Search: Security personnel may conduct a personal search if deemed necessary.

6. Final Clearance:

   • Once all checks are completed, foreign workers exit the customs area and proceed to their onward transportation or pick-up points.
