I have to make a new check inn at JED that is why I am asking.

Do I need to leave the transit area for the check inn?

Another question is:

Do I need to drop off the luggage for a second time or is it possible to check inn the luggage from FRA through to KUL?

Thank you for every help!

I would be very careful with this. At a minimum I would apply for a transit visa in advance. The checkin agents may make an issue as well. When I checked in with KLM, the agent was shocked I had a visa and had to double check with her supervisor.

Also it took almost 2 hours at immigration for me and I've heard that this is quite usual.
