Malaysian passport holder, transitting/arriving at US with no visa [closed]

Will they stop me at departure in Malaysia, or at the US airport? I'm seeking asylum.

Best Answer

In order to apply for asylum you need to be present in the United States but in order to enter you will need a visa. From outside the US the only thing that you can do is to apply for a Refugee Status and if you qualify you will be granted a visa and allowed to enter the US.

Answer 2

The airline will not let you check in and/or board the plane without necessary documents to enter the destination country and to transit any transit countries. This is because if an airline takes you there, and the country denies you entry, the airline is liable for the cost of carrying you back. So to protect themselves they make doubly sure that you have a visa or other suitable document if required in your situation (to the point that they sometimes wrongly deny boarding to people who have acceptable but obscure documentation).

Also, some countries prevent you from leaving in exit checks if you don't have a visa to the destination country. Not all countries do this; I am not sure about Malaysia.
