Our Malaysia eVisa and Digital Arrival Card application process

How to apply for your Malaysia eVisa with iVisa

1

Complete your online application

Answer a few simple questions, upload your documents, see when you’ll get your eVisa, and pay using secure methods. You can save your progress and come back anytime. Most people finish in under 10 minutes.

We’ll guide you through any unclear questions during the application process.

2

We review your application

The Malaysia visa system is known for being difficult to navigate – your photo must be the right size, and your passport scan must be clear.

Don’t worry – we review your whole application to catch anything that might cause delays. One of our experts checks everything for errors or missing information to make sure it’s ready to go. This review is quick but thorough.

3

We submit it for government processing

We’re not the government, but we submit your application to them and are here for you along the way if there are any problems.

4

Get your Malaysia eVisa

We’ll email your approved eVisa or digital arrival card and let you know how to use it for your trip.

Malaysia Tourist eVisa

This is a single-entry visa that allows travelers from eligible countries to visit Malaysia for tourism purposes. It is valid for 3 months, and each stay is limited to 30 days. You must apply before entering Malaysia, and extensions are not allowed.

To apply, you’ll need:

  • 🛂 Your passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months after your trip dates.
  • 🤳 A selfie or photo: Follow our step-by-step guidance to take your own photo or upload one you’ve already taken.
  • ✈️ Return ticket: To show you’ll be returning home after your trip ends.
  • 🏨 Proof of accommodation: Confirmation of where you will be staying in Malaysia.
  • 💵 Bank statements: Evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Malaysia.

Malaysia Digital Arrival Card

The MDAC is a mandatory online arrival declaration required for almost all travelers to Malaysia. It must be completed within 3 days before your arrival date. Travelers who fail to submit this form in advance may be denied entry.

Exemptions: Malaysian citizens and long-term pass holders do not need to complete the MDAC.

You can apply earlier with iVisa, and we’ll make sure your Arrival Card is ready for your trip within 3 days before departure.

Malaysia DE Rantau Pass*

The DE Rantau Nomad Pass is Malaysia’s digital nomad visa, offering remote professionals and freelancers the chance to live and work legally in Malaysia for up to 12 months, with the option to renew.

Applicants must meet income requirements and can bring dependents. The program includes access to dedicated coworking hubs and a supportive nomad ecosystem across Malaysia.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

Malaysia APEC Business Travel Card*

Business travelers who are citizens of APEC member economies may apply for an APEC Business Travel Card. The ABTC allows multiple short-term entries into Malaysia for up to 60 days per visit without applying for a separate visa. It also provides expedited border processing and access to fast-track lanes at airports.

The ABTC must be applied for in your home country. Malaysia honors cards that include the “MYS” code.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

Malaysia eNTRI Registration*

The Electronic Travel Registration and Information (eNTRI) is an entry facility for Chinese nationals. It allows a single entry into Malaysia for tourism for a stay of up to 15 days. It must be applied for online at least 48 hours before travel, and travelers must depart from either India or China.

This document is not extendable or reusable. Travelers must carry a printed copy with them and meet all entry requirements.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

Malaysia Visa on Arrival (VoA)*

Malaysia offers a Visa on Arrival for a few nationalities arriving directly from Indonesia, Singapore, or Thailand, with a valid visa from one of those countries. The stay is limited to 14 days, and the visa cannot be extended.

To qualify, travelers must present a valid return ticket, proof of funds (at least USD 500), and pay a fee of RM 200 (~USD 45). This option is not available at all border crossings and should be used only when eligible.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

Malaysia Transit Visa*

A transit visa may be required if you are not eligible for visa-free entry and need to pass through Malaysia to reach another destination. This is particularly applicable if your transit involves switching terminals or long layovers exceeding 24 hours.

Some nationalities may be eligible for the Transit Without Visa (TWOV) facility, but this remains suspended as of 2025. Check with Malaysian Immigration before making travel arrangements.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

Malaysia visa policy

Malaysia’s visa policy depends on your nationality, purpose of travel, and duration of stay. More than 100 nationalities, including travelers from the EU, UK, USA, Australia, and most ASEAN countries, can enter Malaysia visa-free for periods ranging from 14 to 90 days. Most business travelers can use a Tourist eVisa to conduct business meetings in the country.

Travelers from countries like India, China, Bangladesh, and others need a visa and can apply for the Tourist eVisa or use special schemes like eNTRI. Those transiting or arriving from select countries may also be eligible for a Visa on Arrival.

Malaysia's eVisa program simplifies the process for eligible countries by allowing online application and electronic delivery. This system is more efficient than visiting a consulate and has contributed to a smoother travel experience for short-term visitors. Malaysia’s DE Rantau Nomad Pass is a digital nomad visa that allows eligible remote workers and freelancers to live and work legally in Malaysia for up to 12 months, with the option to renew once.

All foreign visitors, except Malaysian citizens and long-term pass holders, are required to submit the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online before arrival. This is a mandatory travel declaration and does not replace the visa requirement.

Malaysia also offers specific visa types for education, and long-term employment. Working in Malaysia requires a separate work permit. Overstaying any visa or entry permission can result in fines, detention, or bans on future visits. Immigration officers may also require evidence of onward travel and financial means during border checks. For the latest information, always consult the official Malaysian Immigration website.

FAQs

The Malaysia Tourist eVisa is valid for 3 months from the date of issue, and it allows a single entry into the country. You can stay for a maximum of 30 consecutive days. If you leave and wish to return, you’ll need to apply for a new eVisa.
Standard processing takes around 1 to 3 business days, but faster options may be available depending on your application timing. It's recommended to apply at least one week before your planned departure. During peak seasons or holidays, delays can occur.
You’ll need to present your approved eVisa, a printed copy of your visa approval letter, your passport (valid for at least 6 months), a return ticket, and proof of accommodation. These documents are required by immigration officers upon arrival in Malaysia.

You’ll also need the MDAC - Malaysia Digital Arrival Form, a digital version of the paper customs form.
The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) is mandatory for all travelers (except Malaysian citizens and long-term pass holders). If you fail to complete it before arrival, you may be denied entry or delayed at immigration. Always submit it online within 3 days prior to arrival.
You can apply for your eVisa through the government or iVisa (or download our mobile app).

For other visas, you’ll need to complete the application process on the government platform, pay the visa fee, and in some cases, schedule an interview at a Malaysia embassy or consulate.

Supporting documents like your passport, photo, and purpose of travel are required.
No. You cannot change visa categories once inside Malaysia. For employment or study, you must apply for the appropriate visa type through the Malaysian embassy or consulate before entering.
No, the Tourist eVisa cannot be extended. If you want to stay longer, you must exit Malaysia before the 30 days expire and apply for a new visa from outside the country.
Overstaying can lead to visa cancellation, fines, or bans on future travel to Malaysia. It’s important to leave the country before your visa expires or apply for an extension if eligible.
No, the eVisa is not a sticker or stamp. It's issued electronically and must be printed out after approval. You’ll need to show a hard copy of the eVisa approval at immigration when you land in Malaysia.
  • Our team of iVisa experts will review your documents to make sure you have the best chance of being approved.
  • We then send it to the government for processing on your behalf.
  • Once your visa is approved, we’ll then email you your document.

In the meantime, download the iVisa app, so you can access your travel documents while you're on the go.
