    Your Social Visit pass is for social visiting the fine social people of Malaysia. If Immigration asks tell them you are there for a Social Visit and maybe some Tourism as well.

    Telling them you are there for work won’t go down well.

    It is illegal to enter as a tourist and work as a DN in any country.

    Had you worded your question like: “Will I be OK if I say I’m a tourist and actually work as a DN?”, the answer would’ve been: “No worries, everyone does that, you’ll be fine”.

    Never say the words “I am a digitial nomad” or “I am a remote worker” at immigration or you will have a bad time. You are a tourist.

    Actually, the 3-4 times I’ve been to Malaysia they have barely asked me anything.

    They’re not worried about westerners working tbh. Just say you’re a tourist visiting and you’re good to go.
