Malaysia eVisa

What is the Malaysia eVisa?

Malaysia eVisa is a mandatory document for entry to Malaysia for eligible tourists that comes in single or multiple-entry options.

As the process of getting a Malaysia online visa can be done electronically without contacting the embassy, it's simple and efficient.

Only enter the necessary information in the form, pay the visa fee, and wait for the confirmation received by email.

The Passporta website offers visa services from years, so it's recommended for applicants. Our experts will take care of the necessary permit as soon as possible.

The electronic visa to Malaysia for tourism can be valid for 6 months from the date of issuance and enables a 30-day stay in the country.

IMPORTANT: Citizens from China and India are exempted from visa requirements for tourism from December 1, 2023, to December 31, 2026. Afghans must have VDR before starting the application process (except for holders of diplomatic/official passports).

Important Update

The Malaysian authorities have introduced the Digital Arrival Card scheme. All travelers need to complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) before their entry into the country.

It is essential to note that the document is not a visa to Malaysia.

If you are a national of a non-exempt country, you will need to apply for both a visa and an MDAC.
