Malaysia to The Gambia visa requirements

Malaysian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for The Gambia. As a Commonwealth member, Malaysia qualifies for The Gambia's Commonwealth visa exemption, allowing visa-free tourist stays of up to 90 days. A Malaysian ordinary passport holder can travel to The Gambia visa-free for short tourism. The Gambia's official visa policy exempts "Commonwealth Citizens" from needing a visa, and Malaysia is a full member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Visa-exempt visitors may stay up to 90 days. No visa application or eVisa is required before travel. Travelers must still hold a passport valid for at least 6 months, carry a return/onward ticket and proof of sufficient funds (visible means of sustenance), and enter through a recognized port of entry such as Banjul International Airport. A mandatory Securiport security fee of D1000 (about USD 20) is collected in cash on both arrival and departure. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for travelers aged 9 months and older arriving from, or transiting through, countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. Because the exemption rests on Commonwealth membership rather than a bilateral Malaysia-Gambia treaty, travelers should carry documentation confirming the visa-free basis and verify current rules close to departure, as final entry is always at the discretion of immigration officers at the port of arrival.
