FAQs

No, Myanmar citizens do not need a visa for short-term social visits to Malaysia for up to 14 days, as of October 1, 2025. However, if you plan to stay in Malaysia for longer than 14 days, you must apply for a Malaysia Tourist eVisa before your trip. Regardless of the length of your stay, all travelers must complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online within three days of arrival.

The processing time for a Malaysia Tourist eVisa for Myanmar citizens is typically 2 weeks. For the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC), the registration is processed almost instantly, but it must be submitted within the 72-hour window before your arrival at the Malaysian border.

Myanmar citizens can stay in Malaysia for a maximum of 14 days under the visa-exempt social visit policy. If you hold a Malaysia Tourist eVisa, you are generally permitted to stay for up to 30 days. It is important to ensure your stay does not exceed the duration granted by the immigration officer upon entry.

No, Myanmar citizens do not require a visa to transit through Malaysia, provided the transit period is within the 14-day visa-free allowance. If you are staying airside (not passing through immigration) for a short layover, no visa is needed. If you intend to leave the airport, you can do so visa-free for up to 14 days, provided you have a valid MDAC and an onward ticket.

Generally, the 14-day visa-free stay and the 30-day Malaysia Tourist eVisa are not extendable. Extensions for short-term social visits are only granted by the Malaysian Immigration Department in extreme circumstances, such as medical emergencies or accidents. To avoid fines or being blacklisted, Myanmar citizens should plan to leave the country before their permitted stay expires.
