While all eyes are on Malaysia’s ambition to reopen the international borders fully, the country has just agreed with neighbouring Thailand for vaccinated travel lanes (VTL) in principle.
The facilitation for the bilateral movement of people will encompass air, land and sea links between both countries. The announcement came shortly after a similar embryonic understanding was put in place between Malaysia and Brunei. The Malaysia-Brunei VTL is awaiting the SOP proposal. At present Malaysia has already implemented the VTL initiative with Singapore, which has helped thousands reunited with their families as well as enabling business travel without the need to quarantine.
