Will a train ticket to Singapore be accepted as proof of onward travel to fly one-way into Malaysia?

Accepted answer

YES.

I don't know if it will work for everybody every time but it worked for me today.

The lady at the Air Asia X check-in counter in Sydney airport asked me for my onward ticket when she saw I was flying to KL one-way. I presented the e-ticket for my train trip to Singapore, which only cost about $10.

At immigration in Kuala Lumpur they didn't ask me any questions at all. They were quite nice and friendly. Of course this is not a guarantee that they won't ask some people. So I cannot state for sure how the train ticket would work if they did.

Personally, I've never had a problem with an onward destination going to Malaysia. I have never flown into Malaysia, I've always entered over land and they've never asked if I was leaving.

If you run into any trouble it'll be when you check in to AirAsia or whoever you're flying with. They'll want proof of onward travel more so than customs (Opinion).

If I were you, I'd go to the airport a bit early, check in, see if they ask for it. If they do and won't let you board without proof, I'd buy a ticket. I assume Sydney has Wi-Fi or you have a phone with Wi-Fi. Granted I travel broke and it's worth saving $20 to me.
