Hi all, I am bringing my parent to take a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Penang. Do we need to bring our passports? I tried to search for AirAsia customer service contact numbers but failed to find any...

no you don't. you only need to bring your passport if you're leaving the country.

Or if you go East Malaysia

you will only need your I.C to enter East Malaysia, they will print a slip for you, don't lose that slip

No need, IC also can

Alright thanks all for the useful information 👍🏼

How old are you ? Asking crazy question.

Not unless you are a foreigner.
If M'sian, just MyKAD will do.

Wow. I learn something new every day. During my time, 30 years ago, we needed passports to go S&S! When did they change the system?

So funny? Serious /k also give stupid answer like this.

seriously? are you even malaysian to begin with? Penang is malaysia, KL is malaysia, why do you even need passport? Youre travelling state to state

If you're driving/taking bus/train to Penang, and when you entering Penang, is someone ask for your passport?

I think he meant to S&S

Are you and your parents Malaysian citizens? If so, just bring yr IC.

If not, bring your passports.

Nak gib u extra info for less 3 months and more 3 months.

Menurut Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia, rakyat Malaysia dari Semenanjung yang tidak mempunyai Pasport Malaysia atau Dokumen Perjalanan Terhad, akan diberikan Dokumen Gantian Perjalanan apabila hendak masuk ke Sabah atau Sarawak. Ia dianggap sebagai Pas Lawatan Sosial atau Bisnes dan pemegang hanya boleh menetap di Sabah atau Sarawak tidak lebih daripada tiga bulan.

Rakyat dari Semenanjung yang ingin melawat Sabah dan Sarawak tidak lebih tiga bulan tidak perlu membuat permohonan awal. Sebaliknya, cuma perlu mendapatkan dokumen tersebut di kaunter Balai Ketibaan lapangan terbang Kota Kinabalu, Sabah dan Kuching, Sarawak. Tiada sebarang bayaran yang dikenakan untuk mendapatkan pas lawatan tersebut.

Bagi individu yang mempunyai Pasport Malaysia Antarabangsa bewarna merah, mereka boleh juga menggunakannya dan permit lawatan akan dicop di dalam pasport tersebut.

Menetap di Sabah atau Sarawak lebih tiga bulan

Sudah pasti orang ramai sedia maklum tentang pasport berwarna merah yang digunakan untuk melancong ke luar negara. Namun begitu, mungkin tidak ramai tahu tentang pasport berwarna biru.

Pasport berwarna biru ini dikenali sebagai Dokumen Perjalanan Terhad. Ia dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Imigresen bagi rakyat Malaysia dari Semenanjung yang ingin menetap di Sabah atau Sarawak selama lebih tiga bulan. Pasport biru sah selama lima tahun dari tarikh ia dikeluarkan dan boleh dilanjutkan selama lima tahun lagi. Berbanding pas sosial, Dokumen Perjalanan Terhad perlu dimohon lebih awal dan dikenakan bayaran RM5

not shy to ask. we encourage
at least he not spoonfed. sudah check on aasia web. no answer
kasi chans

I wonder if driving licence is valid ?

That’s why I recalled that S&S required a Malaysian passport to visit. Thanks!

No required but u can use passport to travel domestic

Perhaps he has never flown on a plane before. Still had to laugh at this comment though.

Don't laugh la.

Last time I go Sarawak I also ask this question..Kena tembak also.

But no need passport. Incase you want to go Thailand after coming to Penang then get the passport ready

sarawak understandable

but KL to Penang.... ok lah kasi chan maybe indeed some people never went outstation before

technically....you need a passport to enter Sarawak because a visa is actually officially needed and granted.

but to facilitate movements of people, a special dispensation is given for stays up to 3 months, to be granted a visa on arrival, and since only an IC is provided, a Social Visit Pass is given as a slip of paper as a surrogate "visa in a passport", which must be shown on exit.

what so funny. I dont think that is a stupid answer. I never travel too like TS and indeed I think we need visa approval in the first place.

At least in the old days, ie. 90s, you had the option of either both as someone previously posted here. If you use your red/blue passport its a simple stamp and you either get a 7/14/30 days stamp. The other option would be to fill in a piece of paper, pale yellow/orange in color and then that gets stamped. Fun fact, you can do a border hop to either Labuan or Brunei to reset your time.

Fly In Malaysia no need

If they’re malaysians, no passport is needed

Whenever I travel to East M'sia, I always use the passport.
Just saja want the chops to fill up the empty pages

if you are not malaysia, you need to bring passport everywhere

late 90s changed to use IC already

No need my fren

U felt this is stupid question, it's just becoz you live in better living condition family than someone.
Many of them still crawling out from family debts and yet they have no chance to travel within Msia.

Please remember that your well living condition also gone through by a lot of stupid question and mistake.

Kiddo time use to have that blue passport ... to go Singapore. Dont know can use to S&S too.

Like I said, the law had not changed, you still need a visa and hence need a valid travel document. If you have a passport, that would probably be the best way.

As special dispensation for movement of people, the use of the IC and issuance of a temporary "travel document" on arrival was introduced about 20 years ago.

All this is because the Borneo states have immigration autonomy and needs to record all entries into the state, both Sabahans/Sarawakians and others. Same as what happens when you arrive from overseas at klia.

The S&S blue passport is different from the Singapore ones. The cover is a light bright blue.

Went to dig up old documents, ah the memories of flying belon back in those days.

within semenanjung just use IC, if semenanjung to S&S, if got valid passport, I prefer use passport because already trauma the slip misplaced few times, luckily it always in some pocket in the bag.

but if u are discipline and not forgetful like me, can always use IC.

Guys, this is serious kopitiam and there's nothing wrong with ts question and he's asking nicely.

So pls don't tembak ts for it. Not everyone is a season traveller.

Just one thing to add ts, make sure to be at the airport early as need to check in at least 2 hours before departure and be at the boarding gate half an hour before it opens

Also check the departure/arrival board from time to time as the airline may suddenly rescedhule the flight early or late
