Hi everyone,
Like to check on this one for my friend.
a) Do I need to open a sdn bhd for a travel agency? Can it be an enterprise instead (aka sole prop)? b) After register a company at ROC, do I need to apply any travel agency license? c) Are there any fees which I need to pay?
Any tips on this one? Thanks.

To register a travel agency or tour operating business in Malaysia is not that complicated, the basic requirement is to setup a sdn bhd and having sufficient paid up capital (i.e. RM50,000 for inbound operator in rural area). I have just recently got my application approved, now i am setting up premise and waiting to attend the TTMC course, cant wait to start the business ASAP:) For the general guideline in setting up a travel agency in Malaysia, you can check out this guide: http://www.how-to-start-a-travel-agency.comHope this helps:) Simon
