Smiling and waving to supporters, Anwar, 70, was surrounded by his family, lawyers and prison guards before getting into a car and driving to the palace for an audience with the king.
"The pardons board has already met and the king has granted a full pardon, which means all past convictions have been expunged," said Sivarasa Rasiah, Anwar's lawyer.
