  • We stopped at one of the banks in town to get some smaller bills before flying to Mulu.
    The first thing we seen when we walked in the door is armed guards.
    These men had shot guns so I think they meant business.
    I didn't ask to take their picture.

  • Nowadays miri is a safe place to visit. Before that it is not a safe place. Usually the Bruneian like to go out shopping due to the currency exchange between Brunei Dollars and Malaysian Ringgits. Therefore a lot of tourist is mainly from Brueni And it is the main income for the miri beside oil and gas.

  • I didn't have this feeling myself, but local man advised me not to walk alone in the night as there were some foreigners kidnapped in the past. Was it true or not, I don't know. Anyway, I saw in Miri less street gangs than in Bintulu.

    Jungle trekking is very tyring. Some paths are very well conditionned, but when there are no paths, you do need the help of an experienced guide. Keep in mind that the heat and humidity are very high.

    After a day of trekking this is the regrettable aspect I had.

    Required Travel Documents - VISA & Passport

  • Sarawak maintained separate control over immigration when it joined the Malaysian Federation. As a consequence, even if you are coming from Peninsular Malaysia or Sabah, you are required to obtain a separate visa for Sarawak (Malaysians coming from other parts of Malaysia are also required to do so).

    1-month social visas are automatically issued at the airport. Extensions (1 month at a time, up to 2 extensions) can be obtained from the Immigration Department with relatively little fuss.

    Visitors entering Malaysia must possess a valid passport or an internationally recognised travel document (valid for travel to Malaysia). Those who are not in possession of any of these must obtain a Document in lieu of Passport from the Malaysian Representative Office abroad.

    A passport is necessary for travel between Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah and Sarawak, as well as between Sabah and Sarawak. Malaysians from the Peninsula need either a passport or their identity card to enter Sabah and Sarawak. Visitors who come to Malaysia on a visa must get the document from the Malaysian Representative Office abroad before entering the country. A visa must be used within its validity period (normally three months).
