In case of securing a right of residence in this state, Lebanese authorities require that travel documents be valid for at least 6 months of the date of the application. We strongly recommend that Romanian citizens who wish to work in Libya refrain from traveling to this country unless they have signed a legal labor contract and have a work visa. Please note that a touristy visa does not grant the right to work in this state. There have been numerous cases of Romanian citizens traveling to Libya to work, on a Libya tourist visa, and subsequently running into great difficulty to leave that country because it is mandatory to obtain an exit visa from this state. The formalities to obtain an exit visa can only be performed by the individual or legal entity that made the original invitation, and our diplomatic mission has no avenue of providing support in such a case. 1.

NOTE - valid passport for at least one year; - visa application form with all entries filled in; - return flight ticket; - two passport-size pictures; - criminal history certificate; - invitation letter from a business in Madagascar; - letter from the business that wishes to send their employee to Madagascar.

In this case the visa must be obtained from one of Madagascar’s diplomatic missions. Romania and Malaysia have a mutual visa waiver regime for their own citizens for maximum 90 days, for non-lucrative purposes. Any stay beyond 90 days, irrespective of its purpose (marriage, studies, labor, visiting, tourism) requires previously obtaining a long-stay visa. This can be obtained at one of Malaysia’s diplomatic missions.

On the Malaysian border Romanian citizens will receive a visa (not tied to a specific identity), in the form of a stamp in their passport; this gives them the right to stay in Malaysia for up to 90 days, as agreed by the two states. Nevertheless Romanian citizens should check, on the border, whether the Malaysian stamp does give them the right to stay for 90 days or only 30 days, because some of the local officials can reduce that legal stay period.

Also, we recommend that Romanian citizens who wish to enjoy the entire duration of their stay carefully calculate the date when they must leave Malaysia, because the stamp in their passport is for 90 days as of their entry into the country but does Malaysia not specify the date of the last day of its validity. Malaysian authorities are very strict concerning those legal stay periods. Overstay can be punished by expulsion from Malaysia or even detention, followed by expulsion. This is caused by a very large number of foreign citizens who work in Malaysia illegally.

The Romanian citizens whose documents have been stolen / lost / destroyed must file a complaint with the Royal Malaysian Police. Based on that complaint, after obtaining the Romanian travel document (travel title/simple temporary passport) they must report to the Immigrations Department to get an exit stamp (Special Pass), which is valid for 30 days and costs 100 RM (circa 33 USD).

The Romanian citizens holding temporary passports cannot receive the 90 days with multiple entries stipulated for the short stay. To avoid situations where airlines might deny or the border police might deny entry visa on the territory of Malaysia, we advise Romanian citizens to avoid using a temporary passport in this state.
