PUTRAJAYA: The government has agreed to allow Malaysians who have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 to travel abroad without MyTravelPass (MTP) of the Immigration Department effective tomorrow, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
\nHe said the decision to abolish MTP was among others\u00a0to reunite family members and spouses who were separated from Malaysians working abroad and those carrying out business activities.
\n\u201cHowever, the approval is subject to the individual having been completely vaccinated and travellers are still required to undergo quarantine upon returning to the country,\u201d he said in a special media conference aired live via local television stations and social media platforms this evening.
\nMTP, introduced by the Immigration Department on\u00a0Oct 7 last year,\u00a0is the permit for Malaysians and foreigners\u00a0to enter and exit the country through the system.
\nAsked on the country\u2019s\u00a0checkpoints which had been opened to foreign tourists, Ismail Sabri said they are\u00a0still not open except on emergency\u00a0or official government matters.
\n\u201cThe Health Ministry (MOH) will be evaluating the opening of\u00a0national gateways to foreign tourists and it would be announced soon,\u201d he said.
