The country is currently also implementing the VTL method with Brunei, Indonesia and Thailand.<\/p> \n<p>Following this, foreigners will no longer be required to apply for MyTravelPass as of April. They must, however, download the MySejahtera app and undergo a RT-PCR test two days before their departure, and a rapid test (RTK) upon arrival.
