Hi @The Urban Nomad, thanks for the detailed video. I am planning a similar trip in the last week of July 2024 and my journey is directly to Langkawi (layover at Singapore), and then later to Kuala Lumpur. I still don't have to worry about an e-visa and can directly go to Langkawi and ensure the fulfillment of the criteria and provide supporting documents as mentioned in the Embassy Portal, correct?. Please confirm.
Hi, I am glad that you enjoyed the video! Langkawi is an international airport and I hope immigration rules are the same there as well! But it may be worth confirming with them by sending an email. Have a great trip and travel safe!
Hi, I really liked the details of your video. It's very helpful. Any idea can I pay with bookmyforex card in agoda for hotels and klook for outings? And if I don't have any credit or debit card with zero foreign mark up charges and I am planning to use normal debit or credit card which is better to pay in indian rupees or MYR for online hotel and outing bookings from India itself? I am planning the trip in November first week, hope the weather will be fine. And also the layover is around 1hr 40mins or 2hrs 40mins with Air Asia transfer coverage. So is it enough time as I will be travelling with my aged parents. And I also saw somewhere additional tourist tax we need to pay at the hotel. Can you tell about that?
First of all, thank you! I hope you will find other episodes of the series useful as well! Let me try to address your queries! > In case you have option to pay in INR, its better to use that! > November should be nice time to visit. > I would suggest 2hr 40 min layover one! Other one will be too tight! Specially if you need to change terminals. Ours was 2 hr 50 mins. > I have not paid anything extra to hotel other than booking value! if taxes are charged, that should be included when you book the property! Only exception is George Town, Penang! We stayed in the colonial quarter and had to pay a little Heritage Tax! > I have not used BookMyForex card, so have no idea on that point! Sorry!
Thanks for tip. Even my flight arrives 6am at KLIA. how much time immigration and airport transfer take so that i can book my langkawi flight accordingly.
My flight to Langkawi was 9.20 am ! The immigration will take max 30 minutes if there is not much queue. Transfer to other terminal may take 30 minutes. Plus keep some buffers for domestic check in etc. I think you should book a flight after 9 am! Glad this episode was helpful for you, and hope you enjoy other videos of the play list as well! Travel safe and enjoy!
Will be travelling from Langkawi to Chennai 2 pax however have opted for 30kg additional baggage, so could you please let me know whether it will considered as per person or 30kg combined for 2pax. Thank you
If you are travelling in AirAsia and booked extra luggage, it will be for one PNR. In your case does not matter how many person flying, it will be 30kg total for the PNR! But you may check with airline!
If you are travelling during monsoon months, raincoats and umbrellas could be a good idea! As it could be quite sunny during the day, it's better to carry caps/hats and loads of sunscreen! I recommend wearing comfortable shoes as there will be a lot of walking around!
Amazing Video Siddhartha, I also booked my tickets via BLR, One doubt. How much money or bank statement is required to show during the immigration process ? is 1000 dollars plus 2 debit and cc okay for a family of 4?
Ideally you should have enough money to cover your stay in Malaysia, in your account! But to be frank, they did not ask me for any bank statements, although I was carrying it!
Hey very informative We are planning for this December with kids 2 year & 8 year Can you suggest I should take a holiday package from the operator like "make my trip" or "Thomas Cook" or we can easily get a car with driver there only ?? Pls do share
Thank you very much I hope you like other videos of the series as well! I planned and booked everything and never felt the need to book package tours! Malaysia is a very tourist friendly country and in all major tourist places people speak and understand English , reasonably well! You can book a car with driver there itself or book Klook when needed! You will get an idea on how we got around various places in other episodes!
Hi Krunal, I believe you are referring to Papan Reserve forest! Unfortunately, we had 9 days so limited our trip to KL, Langkawi and George Town. I wish to go back to cover Ipoh, Malacca, Carmen Highlands, Borneo etc!
How much time gap u have taken between the flights. As, I am also planning to take a flight to langkawi from Kuala lumpur airport itself as soon as I reach Kuala Lumpur. My flight is scheduled to reach in morning 7 am. Can I take a flight to langkawi at 10 am. We have only cabin bags.
How much time did it take you to clear your immigration at Kuala Lumpur? We are too taking a flight for Langkawi right after landing in Kuala Lumpur. Hence, wanted to understand how much buffer time we should have between the two flights.
Mine had 2 hour 45 min layover and it was not a problem for us. Took just 30 minutes from landing to clearing the visa! If there is a queue, it may take a little more.
If u just tap n pay using Niyo DCB debit card does it cost anything extra? Or only exchange rate is debited? I want to know only for tap n pay not atm withdrawal!
Sir i booked AirAsia flight from delhi to langkawi with 1:50 layover in Kuala Lumpur...is this time sufficient to get immigration done and will get our flight
Hi sir- we are going for one day in kuala lampur. Next day having flights to bali evening mein. Can u suggest which place to stay in kuala lampur. We are totally vegetarian no onion garlic food. I mean place to stay so that we can explore few places and eat vegetarian food
@@kunalagrawal6174 Hi Kunal, definitely you can stay in Little India. Lots of vegetarian restaurants! Ping me on Instagram with your arrival and departure times, I can suggest a plan for you!
I am planning a trip to Malaysia and intend to visit Langkawi. My travel itinerary involves flying from Kolkata to Kuala Lumpur, and from there, taking a domestic flight to Langkawi on the same day. Will it be possible or I have to stay for a day in kuala lampur?
Hi Vaibhav! You can very well do that, in fact we did the same. Landed in KL around 6.05 am and took LKG flight at 9.45 am. If yours's is also early morning arrival at KL better to do this! Most hotels in Malaysia have 2 pm check-in, so you have to wander around and a day is lost! Instead you can reach LKG by afternoon enjoy the evening! Do check our Langkawi episodes! Tons of information to help your planning! regards
Planning trip to Kuala Lumpur + langkawi and Malacca in November, is it good time or we should go in December ?? Or what month you suggest to go between September to December , as we are trying to avoid rainy season Please suggest best time to visit Kuala, langkawi and malacca
Monsoon is typically over by the 2nd week of November! It will be good time to visit starting from then! But December last week and January first week could be very crowded!
Hi! I think if you are staying with your relative, hotel booking is not needed. Take an invitation letter from the relative with clear mention of date of travel, name, address, phone number etc. But please double confirm by checking Malaysia Immigration official website!
@@TheUrbanNomad we are taking bus from Singapore to Malaysia I guess we have to fill digital card within 3 days of entering Malaysia and then keep all the docs which you mentioned right ?
Yes! And I suggest checking with your travel agent or mail immigration to check this visa on arrival is applicable for land borders also! 99% it will be, but it is good to make sure 😊
Hi Vivek, the name is "Continew Residence" you will find in AirBnB! You may find the property review in this episode! Also direct link to the property page in in the description of the same video! ruclips.net/video/WhH2znQvwis/видео.html
7 kg ka cabin baggage allowed hai bas! Usme backpack plus laptop ka bag le sakte ho, but total 7 KG per person hi rahega! Usse jada hone se chargeable hain!
Hello you told we need to show travel booking for entire stay, can u confirm if we book for inly first day and book remaining days accommodation after we visit Malasia
We did not stay in Genting and it was a day trip! However if you want to enjoy everything, staying there is a better option! You may find number of options there. Feel free to watch our Genting episode to have an idea! ruclips.net/video/wUPKDglh2XI/видео.html
Interestingly, Malaysian Govt. Website says "sufficient fund" and does not provide a clear value! However I believe other than hotel and air ticket if you have Rs 7000 to 8000 per day, per person as reserve in your bank account, that should be fine! The fun thing is they did not ask me to show the bank statement, only checked the return ticket!
Thankyou sir Your video is really helpfull.. need to ask few things to plan my tickets travelling from banglore. 1:- how long visa process took once you deboarded the flight considering the distance to visa counter and all. 2:- what time was the flight you booked to langkavi ? I thankyou again @TheUrbanNomad
Thank you Naveid! I hope you like other episodes of the series as well! 1) The visa itself takes 5 minutes. For me from boarding off to getting visa took 30 minutes. 2) I had 2 hours and 45 minutes layover to get the Langkawi flight.
