Iranian travelers get fourteen days on entry, a considerably shorter allowance than most nationalities receive here, so plan the itinerary tightly around it.
The digital arrival card is filed online before you fly. Connections run through Dubai, Doha, or Istanbul into Kuala Lumpur. Cards issued in Iran do not function in Malaysia, so the trip runs on cash brought with you and exchanged locally, and the moneychangers in central Kuala Lumpur give better rates than the airport.
Travelling to study or work?
This page answers the short-stay, tourist question. Staying in Malaysia to study or work is a separate permit, on its own rules.
