South Korean passport holders enter Malaysia visa-free for up to 90 days. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry with two blank pages. You need a return or onward ticket and proof of sufficient funds (no fixed threshold, but MYR 1,000 equivalent is a safe benchmark).
Malaysia requires all visa-free visitors to complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) at imigresen-online.imi.gov.my within 3 days before arrival. This replaced the old paper arrival/departure card. Have the MDAC confirmation on your phone when you reach immigration. Processing at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) is fast, especially through the autogate lanes available to frequent visitors.
