Visa requirements for Malaysian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Malaysia. As of 13 February 2018, Malaysian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 169 countries and territories, ranking the Malaysian passport 11th in the world (tied with Liechtenstein passport) according to the Henley Passport Index, the highest-ranked passport in the developing world, the 2nd highest-ranked passport in Southeast Asia after the Republic of Singapore, and the 4th highest-ranked in Asia.
Although Malaysian passports bear the inscription "This passport is valid for all countries except Israel" and the Malaysian government officially allows travel to Israel for Christian pilgrims only, the travel restrictions imposed by the Malaysian government have no bearing on the Israeli government, which issues visas to Malaysian citizens according to Israeli regulations.
In September 2017, Malaysia announced a ban on all Malaysian citizens from travelling to North Korea, in the wake of strained Malaysia-North Korea relations following the assassination of Kim Jong-nam at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
