Malaysia enjoys a tropical climate year-round , but the best time to visit generally depends on the region and activities you're interested in.

• The dry season (May to September) is ideal for beach vacations and outdoor adventures
• The shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

Citizens of many countries can enter Malaysia without a visa for a specific period, usually 30 or 90 days. However, it's crucial to check the latest visa requirements for your nationality on the official Malaysian immigration website. If you need a visa, you can apply at the nearest Malaysian embassy or consulate.

• Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites.
• Remove your shoes before entering someone's home or a mosque.
• Use your right hand for eating and giving or receiving items.
• Avoid public displays of affection.

Public displays of affection are frowned upon. It's also considered rude to point with your index finger; use your thumb instead.
