Malaysia Tourist eVisa
Purpose: The Malaysia eVisa (Electronic Visa) is an online visa that authorizes eligible foreign nationals to enter Malaysia for short-term visits. It’s primarily used for tourism and social visits.
When to apply: It’s recommended to apply at least two weeks in advance to avoid processing delays, especially when applying during peak travel times.
Duration and extensions The Malaysia Tourist eVisa allows stays of up to 30 days within a 90-day validity period. Extensions are not allowed.
Entries: The visa is issued as a single-entry document.
Ports of entry: Malaysia Tourist eVisa holders can enter through any official international border or port of entry.
Delivery format: An approved eVisa is electronically linked to your passport, but travelers are advised to carry a printed copy of the approval PDF when entering Malaysia.
Malaysia Digital Arrival Card
Purpose: The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) is an official online immigration declaration form that most foreign visitors must complete before entering Malaysia. It replaces the old paper arrival card and is designed to:
- Collect essential traveler and itinerary information for immigration processing
- Streamline and speed up arrival procedures at Malaysian borders
- Enhance border security through pre-arrival data screening
When to apply: You should submit your MDAC within 3 days before your scheduled arrival in Malaysia.
Duration and extensions An MDAC is needed for every entry into Malaysia. It is not a visa and your maximum stay in the country will depend on your nationality or visa.
Delivery format: An approved MDAC is electronically linked to your passport, but travelers are advised to carry a printed copy of the approval PDF when entering Malaysia.

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.

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.
