oranje — only essential travel (part of the country)

In het kort De kleurcode van het reisadvies is oranje voor een aantal eilanden rondom Sabah. Reis alleen hierheen als het noodzakelijk is. Het is niet veilig er op vakantie te gaan. Lees meer onder Regionale risico’s. Voor de rest van Maleisië geldt kleurcode geel. U kunt hierheen reizen. Maar let op: er zijn bijzondere veiligheidsrisico’s.
