Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan—marked by India’s launch of Operation Sindoor on May 7—the High Commission of Malaysia has strongly advised Malaysians to immediately defer all non-essential travel to India, particularly to states that share a border with Pakistan. The advisory was shared via the Commission’s official X (formerly Twitter) account. The High Commission clarified that this advisory applies to leisure travel and other non-urgent visits.
Malaysians currently in India are encouraged to register with the High Commission and notify them of their whereabouts by sending an email to mwdelhi@kln.gov.my.
For consular assistance, Malaysians can reach out to the High Commission of Malaysia in New Delhi by calling +90 11 2415 9300 or +90 11 2415 9311 (general line/operations room), or contact the duty officer at +90 85 9555 0564 between 4:30pm and 8:00am.
