Africans in Malaysia orAfrican Malaysians, are people of full or partialAfrican descent who were born in or immigrated to Malaysia. Immigration from Africa to Malaysia is only a recent phenomenon, with Europe and the rest of Asia traditionally being the largest sources of migration to Malaysia.
Globalization brought more Africans to Malaysia fortourism,business and to study atMalaysian universities.[2][3]Medical tourism has also attracted Africans to Malaysia.[3] Immigration of Africans to Malaysia and other Asian countries has become increasingly common due to tighter restrictions onimmigration in Europe.[1]
In 2012, around 79,352 Africans entered Malaysia legally. They were issued with a total of 25,467student visas.[1][2]
