Muscat: The Malaysian embassy in Muscat has issued a consular notice updating Malaysians stranded in the country following recent developments in the Middle East. The embassy, in a notice posted on its Facebook page, said the consular notice was issued following consular visits by its staff.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, among the updates, Qatar Airways has extended hotel accommodations for affected passengers until Monday (March 2). Flights scheduled for the same day to the destinations of Malaysian citizens are still awaiting final confirmation from the airlines.

The embassy also mentioned that some individuals might opt to arrange their own flights to Malaysia or other destinations. It advised those considering this option to verify transit visa requirements thoroughly, as processing may take several days for some countries before purchasing tickets.

Furthermore, the embassy encourages Malaysians to adhere to their airline arrangements to avoid complications where possible and to ensure that their passports and other important documents are readily accessible.
