If I have a single ticket from Hong Kong to Indonesia that includes a transit stop in Malaysia or Singapore, do I need to apply for a transit visa in either of those countries if I hold an Indonesian passport?

Is there a tool I can use to find a generic answer to similar questions about transit?

    "Malaysia" and "Singapore" are different countries. How can the traveler have a single transit in two locations? Commented Dec 21, 2022 at 5:24
  • It says Malaysia/Singapore. Malaysia or Singapore is what the OP meant. Commented Dec 21, 2022 at 6:46
  • @DavidSupportsMonica it could be a round-trip ticket with the layover for the outward journey in one place and the inward layover in another place Commented Dec 21, 2022 at 8:01
  • Indeed, it could be either. The wording is unclear. Commented Dec 21, 2022 at 15:12
  • sorry, we did not buy the ticket yet, the availability of transit are these two countries Commented Dec 22, 2022 at 4:11

For this instance, you don't need transit visa, as Malaysia and Singapore has 'Sterile Transit'. It means, you can get to the connecting flight without going to passport control.

In general, you can look into TIMATIC, which is a system used by airlines to check the document requirements.

    Actually the link in the answer is to Traveldoc, which is a system different from Timatic (but which provided the same service). Commented Jan 20, 2023 at 13:49
