PETALING JAYA: Over the past three days, foreigners from several countries have been receiving emails from their missions in Malaysia, telling them they only have until April 21 to leave the country without being fined or detained.

The deadline is based on a Malaysian government grace period for foreigners whose social visit passes expired in 2020 because they were stranded by movement control restrictions.

The movement control order ended on March 31, making April 21 the final date of a 14-working day grace period. Although the MCO was extended until April 14, the government has not announced if the grace period was renewed, compelling some foreign missions to warn their nationals that they might have less than two weeks to make preparations to leave, or stay and face the consequences.
