By 2011, Malaysians might be required to obtain a visa in order to enter the United Kingdom, according to The Star Online. Presently, Malaysians may visit the U.K. for up to six months without a visa. However, the U.K. is considering rescinding Malaysia’s visa-free status due to the high number (an estimated 20,000) of Malaysian nationals overstaying and working illegally. If this occurs, Malaysian visa applicants will need to pay a nonrefundable processing fee of 1,200 Ringgits (approximately 350 USD; 220 GBP).
