- The Embassy of Malaysia in Seoul (MFA Malaysia) publishes an entry-requirement table with South Korea listed under 'Without Visa: 3 mths' — i.e. up to three months visa-free on arrival. The Immigration Department's visa-requirement list does not include South Korea. Work, study and other special-purpose stays need a visa in advance.
