Is Malaysia under complete lockdown affecting visa applications for foreigners?

Thanks for this information, good to know for those who plan to go to Malaysia. If things change I hope you will also inform us.

I know it becomes more difficult to get the Visa Exempt Entry or Tourist Visa in surrounding countries, so maybe this is the time for a break in your holiday, go back home and wait it out before continue this holiday.
