Malaysia visa requirements

Many foreign nationals, including U.S., European Union, and UK citizens, may enter Malaysia visa-free for short stays. Countries without visa-free travel must obtain a visa, and certain eligible countries can apply for a Malysia Tourist eVisa online.

Foreign citizens entering Malaysia must complete the mandatory Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online within three days prior to arrival. (Note: Citizens of Singapore, diplomatic passport holders, and Malaysian long-term pass holders are exempt from the MDAC).

General Malaysia visa requirements are:

Requirements verified against official government sources

  • Passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival and at least two blank pages
  • Recent photo
  • Valid email address
  • Travel details (such as flight information and accommodation address)

Malaysia visa FAQs

What travelers commonly ask about Malaysia visas.

Still have questions?

Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.

How long is my Malaysia eVisa valid for?

The Malaysia Tourist eVisa is valid for 6 months from the date of issue, and it allows a single- or multiple entries into the country (depending on your nationality and selection). You can stay for a maximum of 30 consecutive days.

How long does it take to get a Malaysia eVisa?

Malaysian Immigration explicitly warns travelers on their portal to apply for an eVisa at least 14 days (two weeks) before departure. In practice it's usually much faster. With iVisa, you can get your visa in as little as 2 business days. The MDAC (Digital Arrival Card) is usually processed instantly. With iVisa you can apply for both documents in one go.

Can I enter Malaysia with just the Tourist eVisa, or do I need other documents?

You'll need to present a completed Malaysia Digital Arrival Card, a printed copy of your Malaysia visa approval letter, your passport (valid for at least 6 months), proof of sufficient funds, an onward/return ticket, and proof of accommodation. These documents may be requested by immigration officers upon arrival in Malaysia.

What happens if I enter Malaysia without submitting the MDAC?

The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) is mandatory for most travelers (except Malaysian citizens and long-term pass holders). If you fail to complete it before arrival, immigration officers typically have to do an extra check and/or you'll be required to complete it on your smartphone before clearing passport control. It can lead to major delays upon arrival. Always submit it online within 3 days prior to arrival.

Is the Malaysia eVisa extendable if I want to stay longer than 30 days?

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.

What happens if I overstay my Malaysia visa?

Malaysia treats overstaying incredibly seriously. Beyond fines and bans, travelers who overstay risk detention and formal deportation.

Will my Malaysia eVisa be printed in my passport?

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.
