by Asia Insider

Malaysia has stopped accepting visa applications globally until 9 June 2020 as per the Government of Malaysia’s extension of Movement of Control. Restrictions are imposed for all sticker visas, eVisas and eNTRI applications.

In Australia, due to the current situation, the Government of Australia has decided to launch two new requirements for travelers going to this country.

Special Travel Request Form designed by The Commissioner of the Australian Border Force (ABF), authorizes travelers who have been affected by the current COVID-19 and have a compelling or compassionate reason to travel to Australia. Keep in mind this form is only valid during Covid-19.

Transit Enquiry form designed by the Department of Home Affairs of Australia, authorizes travelers who have been affected by COVID-19 and need to travel (by aircraft) in transit to Australia to finally arrive at their final destination. Only citizens exempted to get a transit visa (TWOV) can use this form provided by iVisa.

Due to recent measures taken by governments to tackle Covid-19, visitors will be required to submit Health Declarations, Enquiry forms, and other documents for entry to each country.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment.

The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces.
You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.
