The UK government has a useful website to help British expats make decisions concerning the Coronavirus.
The UK Government is not advising British people who are permanent residents overseas to return to the UK. You should follow the advice of the local authorities in your host country. You must carry your passport at all times, as you will be asked for it by police when they enforce any Movement Control Order that may be in place for a particular state, or country wide. British Nationals should keep up to date with social media posts as the situation can change quickly and at short notice.
British nationals who have resident status in Malaysia should consider their own personal circumstances and take into account all of the information available, when making a decision on whether or not to return to the UK. You may consider the following factors:
- Financial support – Do you have sufficient funds to support yourself without going back to the UK for an undetermined number of months?
- Health Insurance –. Do you have medical coverage, or are you able to meet the costs of treatment yourself? Taking your own personal health condition into account, are you confident in receiving the necessary support you need in Malaysia? (Check the Health section below for more information)
- Legal & Employment Support – Do you understand the kind of support available to you in the case of unemployment or economic hardships due to Covid-19? Will these support mechanisms be sufficient for you to support yourself for an undetermined number of months?
- For students – Do you understand the arrangements your host university has in place? Examples include access to medical facilities, accommodation and online learning options. Keep in contact with your UK university too (if applicable) about their advice.
- Travel permissions – Permanent Residents, holders of any valid work permit/study/MM2H related passes are allowed to leave without seeking permission from Malaysian Immigration. This is also the case for any tourists who entered on a social visit pass from 01 January 2020 onwards and leave within fourteen days of the expiry of the current management control order that is now in place until 31 March 2021. If you are a holder of a valid permit and you wish to leave and return please find further information here MyTravelPass.
