Hello!

I hope someone can provide some advice on the following.

I held a digital nomad visa in Malaysia for 2023 (February 2023 -> February 2024).

For 2023 I spent around 200 days in Malaysia, so I am a tax resident here and need to declare tax. The problem is, I used the auto-gates at the airport a few times (stupid decision now), as such I am missing a couple of stamps that say I entered/exited Malaysia. I was informed I could go to the Putrajaya immigration center and get a letter confirming my entry/exit dates, so I did that and they told me to come back in a week. I came back on the day they said it was a holiday and was closed. Unfortunately the next day I had to leave Malaysia as my visa expired. So now all I have is a letter saying I requested the document, but I don't have the document!

So, for declaring in Malaysia and prooving residence, will they accept flight tickets/bookings/boarding passes as proof of entry/exit Malaysia?
Is there any way to get this document confirming my entry/exit from Malaysia outside of Malaysia?

You can submit and an excel with all your in and out dates and the flight bookings as supporing evidence. this is what i did.

@Charchar12

That's interesting. I thought they would want to be more concise. But if they accept this then great.

Hello @Yipp12,

Can you tell how much income we should get per month to accept DN visa in Malaysia? I work remotely as a software engineer.

Thanks for your response.
