Travelling to Malaysia?
While we understand your excitement for the trip, have you spared any thoughts about purchasing a Malaysia travel insurance?
Why do you need to buy a travel insurance for Malaysia, you ask?
For starters, travelling can be riddled with unforeseen situations. Medical emergencies, loss of baggage, wallet theft and just about a thousand other things can put your travel plans in jeopardy. Especially with competent healthcare being quite expensive in Malaysia, travelling without a Malaysia travel insurance from India can lead you to incur substantial financial liabilities. Further, with the rise of petty crimes in cities like Kuala Lumpur, it is better to travel to Malaysia with a financial safeguard in place.
That is why, it is best to purchase an international travel insurance for Malaysia to make sure that you are financially protected under such circumstances.
According to recent regulations introduced, Indian tourists can now visit Malaysia visa-free for a period of up to 30 days. This project, introduced to boost the country’s tourism, will be in effect until December 31, 2024.
