Covid-19 Malaysia – Foreign Film & TV Production Update
The film permit application procedure has fundamentally stayed the same; you will need to submit your application through a Malaysian production company licensed by the Malaysia Government (FINAS). They will deal with all the paperwork and the various departments involved in the process.
Since the COVID-19 situation around the World is currently still in a kind of in constant transformation, the final approval of your filming permit application will depend on the Malaysia Immigration Department deciding on the approval of the crew visa on a case by case basis. This will happen under the advice of the Malaysian Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre and most likely consider factors such as the current COVID19 situation in the country of the crews’ origin.
AsiaFixer.TV is a Government Licensed production company and can help you with your filming permit application or questions you might have. Email us to [email protected]

Shooting wildlife conservation stories with Dame #JudiDench all over #Sabah #Malaysia for her #WildBorneoAdventure shown on #ITV was a real pleasure. Not only is she an absolute “pro”, but also the most engrossing and cordial “talent” I have worked with. Also on top of my 2019 list was filming groundbreaking #NaturalHistory with our Bristol based […]
“Eric worked with us in Malaysia for a week-long BBC shoot in. He organised all our permits, all our internal travel arrangements and set-up interviewees and locations. He joined us on location for the entire shoot and it ran very efficiently.”

“It was fantastic to work with Eric. We hired him to organise and manage all permits and location arrangements for an episode of TERRA X, Germany’s most successful nature, history and culture documentary program. We filmed at multiple locations in two countries (Indonesia and Malaysia), and the challenging scenes included natural history, tree climbing and rigging, caving, underwater filming and more. Eric made sure all of it was perfectly organised and that the crew was always safe, sound and well-fed. His positive attitude towards finding solutions for even the most demanding situations makes him stand out from the crowd.”

“Eric was professional, friendly, and highly responsive during the weeks leading up to the shoot. He handled all local arrangements down to the tiniest detail, and went above and beyond to make sure the production went as smoothly as possible.”
