No, for a social visit: Algerians are visa-exempt for up to 90 days (tourism, business, meetings, seminars, exams…). A valid passport, return ticket and funds suffice. ⭐ For study, Malaysia is a recognized destination — notably international branch campuses (Monash, Nottingham, Heriot-Watt Malaysia) awarding globally-recognized UK/Australian degrees — after admission, the university sponsors a Student Pass. A partner agency can assist with enrolment (the pass is issued by Malaysian immigration).
