National warning: This advisory covers the whole country.
Brief summary:
We currently advise that all New Zealanders do not travel overseas at this time due to the outbreak of COVID-19, associated health risks and widespread travel restrictions.
The global situation remains complex and rapidly changing. International travel can be complicated with fewer international flights available and disruptions to transit routes and hubs. Any destination could experience a sudden increase in cases of COVID-19 and a heightened risk to travellers of contracting the virus. Strict health measures and movement restrictions could be imposed suddenly. Should you decide to travel despite our advice, be prepared to remain overseas longer than you intended. You should also be aware that your travel insurance may not cover travel disruption or medical expenses.
Managed Isolation and Quarantine in New Zealand All travellers to New Zealand must undertake 14 days of government-provided managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ). Detailed information about MIQ requirements in New Zealand can be found at www.miq.govt.nz.
Pre-departure testing requirements for travellers to New Zealand All travellers to New Zealand (excluding those from Antarctica, Australia and most Pacific Islands) must show evidence of a negative COVID-19 test result before departure. Detailed information about pre-departure testing requirements can be found on the Unite Against Covid-19 website here.
We recognise that some New Zealanders do continue to live and travel overseas. We continue to provide destination-specific advice about other safety and security risks below.

Brief summary:
Vi fraråder alle rejser til hele Malaysia for at minimere risikoen for smittespredning med nye COVID-19 varianter. Vi fraråder dermed også erhvervsrejser, men med visse undtagelser. Information om lokale restriktioner, karantæne- og testkrav kan findes hos den danske ambassade i Kuala Lumpur. Du kan læse mere om, hvordan du skal forholde dig, når du kommer hjem fra en udenlandsrejse på coronasmitte.dk. Rejseklar og Danskerlisten Du bør downloade vores app Rejseklar og tilmelde dig Danskerlisten, så modtager du information direkte fra os, hvis der sker større ændringer i indrejserestriktionerne, eller hvis rejsevejledningen skifter farve. Andre sikkerhedsrisici Hvis du rejser til Malaysia, bør du til enhver tid være opmærksom på din personlige sikkerhed pga. risikoen for terror. Vi fraråder alle ikke-nødvendige rejser til Sabahs østkyst fra Sandakan i nord til Tawau i syd og til øerne ud for Sabahs østkyst fra og med Langkayan i nord til og med Sipadan i syd pga. en høj risiko for kidnapning. Militante islamister med base i det sydlige Filippinerne har i de senere år kidnappet og dræbt udlændinge i området. Sikkerhedsrisikoen er så høj, at du bør have helt særlige grunde til at rejse dertil. Sandakan by og Tawau by er ikke omfattet af advarslen og kan benyttes som udgangspunkt for rejser ind i landet. Der er en høj risiko for pirateri i Suluhavet og Celebeshavet ud for Sabahs østkyst.
Danger level: 5
Do not travel..
