American visa policy for Malaysian citizens

Malaysian citizens need a visa to travel to the United States. Malaysia is not part of the Visa Waiver Program, so Malaysian passport holders must obtain a visa before departure.

iVisa offers one United States entry document for Malaysian travelers:

United States B1/B2 Visa: A nonimmigrant visa required for Malaysian citizens traveling to the US for tourism (B2), business (B1), or a combination of both. This visa must be approved in advance and allows short-term visits, depending on its validity and the conditions granted.

General United States visa requirements for Malaysian travelers are:
Malaysian passport valid for the duration of the stay
Completed DS-160 visa application form
Visa interview appointment attendance
Proof of travel purpose (tourism or business)
Evidence of sufficient funds
Proof of ties to Malaysia (to show intent to return)
