Malaysian passports usually need at least six months of validity beyond travel; check this early to avoid denied boarding. Fees are in US dollars; Malaysian applicants should confirm international/USD payments are enabled on their card. The most common avoidable mistake for Malaysian citizens: travelling with under six months of passport validity, a frequent reason Malaysian travellers are turned away at the gate.
Visa rules can change. Confirm details with official Benin immigration authorities close to your travel date.
