              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.

      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.

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.
