Malaysia - Indonesia Travel Bubble Received A Green Light

Malaysia has been given the green-light by Indonesia over a Reciprocal Green Lane/Travel Corridor Arrangement (RGL/TCA) travel bubble between both nations.

Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the travel bubble initiative is one of the ministry's tourism and culture recovery plans formulated last July as part of the measures to revitalize the sector.

The ministry has held discussions with the Health Ministry; Home Ministry and Foreign Affairs Ministry to explore opportunities by creating travel bubbles with neighbouring countries such as Brunei; Singapore and Thailand or Asean countries and Asia Pacific countries such as Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand which have been identified as safe by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Its implementation, however, is subject to bilateral discussions and considerations based on the aspects of health, immigration, data tracking, and ongoing monitoring by relevant agencies in both countries and on top of that, proposed for transparency and standardization of cross-border Standard Operating Procedure issued by safe countries to ease travelling subject to included taking into account views from the health agencies of each respective countries.
