[LATEST - 5 MARCH 2026] UPDATED TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR CONFLICT AREAS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NOTICE OF EVACUATION

[LATEST - 5 MARCH 2026] UPDATED TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR CONFLICT AREAS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NOTICE OF EVACUATION

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is seriously concerned by the heightened escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.

The safety and security of Malaysians remains our highest priority. Given the security concerns we are facing now, the Ministry wishes to advise Malaysian citizens to defer travel to the countries affected by the current conflict. This also applies to Malaysians intending to perform Umrah or Ziarah.

This advisory will remain in place until further notice.

We appeal for the understanding of all parties, including tour agencies.

The Ministry is now working together with our Diplomatic Missions, governments in the region and airlines to evacuate Malaysians stranded following the suspension of flights and closure of airspace. Our evacuation efforts will also include Malaysians wishing to return to Malaysia, using the database on registered Malaysians.

Malaysians are strongly urged to immediately register and update their contact details with the nearest Malaysian Diplomatic Mission or via e-Konsular at https://ekonsular.kln.gov.my, as any evacuation arrangements will be coordinated based on the database of registered Malaysians. Contact details of the relevant Malaysian Diplomatic Missions are listed below.

The relevant Malaysian Diplomatic Missions have been in contact with Malaysians in the affected countries since the earliest stages of the conflict to provide consular assistance and gather information for contingency planning.

We urge Malaysians in the affected countries to exercise a high degree of vigilance, avoid areas of military activity and public gatherings, and strictly adhere to instructions issued by local authorities.

The Ministry will ensure these important evacuation efforts are undertaken successfully, with the support of all relevant parties, towards serving the interest of fellow Malaysians.
