I am an Indian passport holder travelling from China to India via Kuala Lumpur, on Air Asia tickets bought separately. The layover is 4 hours and 30 minutes.

Do I need a transit visa?

Timatic, the database which airlines use to verify passenger documents, states in relevant part:

TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Nationals of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka who reside in country of nationality transiting through Kuala Lumpur (KUL) with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight to a third country on Malaysia Airlines (MH) or Air Asia (AK) within 120 hours. They must:

  • have a visa issued by Australia, China (People's Rep.), Chinese Taipei, Japan, Korea (Rep.), New Zealand or USA, and

  • stay in the international transit area of the airport, and

  • have documents required for the next destination.

You may need to present both of your tickets when you check in at your first flight.

  • @Michael Hampton so you mean that i am qualified for the TWOV (Transit Without Visa) and i should get both of my boarding passes at my check-in in china – mikez fabulous mikey Jan 1 at 2:45
