In February, 2018, it was announced that a new immigration processed, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schengenvisainfo.com\/etias\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">European Travel Information and Authorization system (ETIAS)<\/a> will be a legal and mandatory requirement for those traveling from a visa-free country.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021 onwards, all Malaysian citizens will have to apply for an ETIAS Visa via an online application system before travelling to EU countries in the Schengen Zone. There are several requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A valid passport<\/li>\n<li>An email address<\/li>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/rpstagingdot.wpcomstaging.com\/credit-card\/articles\/shopping-tips-debit-card-credit-card\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">credit or debit card<\/a> for payment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The ETIAS visa, however, will allow Malaysians to travel between the countries in the Schengen Zone for up to <strong>90 days only<\/strong> and is valid for 3 years. Malaysians under the age of 18 need not apply nor pay for the ETIAS visa.<\/p>\n<p>Countries which require the ETIAS visa include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Austria<\/li>\n<li>Belgium<\/li>\n<li>Luxembourg<\/li>\n<li>Netherlands<\/li>\n<li>Germany<\/li>\n<li>France<\/li>\n<li>Spain<\/li>\n<li>Portugal<\/li>\n<li>Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Finland<\/li>\n<li>Denmark<\/li>\n<li>Lithuania<\/li>\n<li>Latvia<\/li>\n<li>Estonia<\/li>\n<li>Poland<\/li>\n<li>Slovakia<\/li>\n<li>Hungary<\/li>\n<li>Slovenia<\/li>\n<li>Italy<\/li>\n<li>Greece<\/li>\n<li>Czech Republic<\/li>\n<li>Malta<\/li>\n<li>Iceland<\/li>\n<li>Norway<\/li>\n<li>Switzerland<\/li>\n<li>Monaco (microstate)<\/li>\n<li>San Marino (microstate)<\/li>\n<li>Vatican City (microstate)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>RM1 levy for all flights from Malaysia<\/h2>\n<p>From 1st January 2018, all passengers leaving from Malaysia will have to <a href=\"https:\/\/rpstagingdot.wpcomstaging.com\/travel-lifestyle\/articles\/malaysians-will-have-to-pay-to-leave-the-country\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pay an additional charge of RM1<\/a>. This is following the changes made to the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) Act 2015. The regulatory charge is to cover Mavcom\u2019s operational costs because<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/news\/nation\/2017\/10\/25\/rm1-flight-levy-starts-january\/\"> the government will stop funding it after 2017.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, passengers leaving from Malaysia will gain benefits as changes to the law will give Mavcom more authority. Mavcom will be able to impose penalties for airlines that do not comply to the guidelines for competition, regulatory fees, and charges. This means passengers can be rest assured that airlines will be better regulated, and passenger rights will be better taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a personal loan to help you fund your holiday dreams, <a href=\"https:\/\/rpstagingdot.wpcomstaging.com\/personal-loan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compare the best loans<\/a> on CompareHero.
