Do I need a transit visa for a 2-hour stopover in Kuala Lumpur for my flight from Colombo to Krabi?
Hi. I am traveling Colombo Sri Lanka to Krabi Thailand by AirAsia and expecting a transit of 2h in Kuala Lumpur airport, Malaysia. It says for “Fly thru” passengers not required to apply for transit visa and can go directly to departure lounge for next flight at KL. Anyone who got the same experience?? Would like to heard a real life experience prior to departure!!! Thank you!
