There are no restrictions or bans on Malaysians visiting Europe

Several videos have been circulating on social networks, mentioning visa restrictions targeting Malaysians in a number of countries, including European countries

In particular, one video falsely indicates that certain European countries have decided to limit Malaysians’ stay to 7 days instead of the 90 days allowed by the Schengen visa.

The information is false under the EU visa code; Malaysian nationals are exempt from short-stay visas throughout the Schengen area. They can therefore enter European territory for 90 days within a 180-day period.
