Complete Guide to Malaysia Visa Application
                     Complete Guide to Malaysia 
Visa Application 
• Foreign nationals who want to travel to Malaysia and are residents of nations 
that require visas are issued a Malaysia visa.
• With a Malaysian visa, you can enter just Malaysia, but you must go through 
border formalities first. Therefore, obtaining a visa does not ensure that you 
will be permitted to stay in Malaysia for any reason. The immigration officer at 
the entry point decides whether or not you are permitted to enter Malaysia.
• Each foreign visitor will receive a Pass from the immigration officer at the 
entry point. An endorsement in your passport known as a "Malaysia Pass" 
details the duration of your stay in the country. Even though you don't 
require a visa to enter Malaysia before your trip, you still need to pass 
immigration at the entrance point and receive a Pass in your passport.
• As a result, getting a Malaysia visa is just a prerequisite for entering; you 
must first get permission from the immigration officer.
• Should I Obtain a Visa Before Travelling to Malaysia?
• If you are from a country that is not exempt from this requirement, you must 
apply for a visa in order to go to Malaysia.
• For brief periods of time, Malaysian entry does not require a visa for 
nationals of a number of countries. If, however, your journey will last longer 
than the allotted time without a visa, you must apply for a visa.
• For instance, if you only want to stay in Malaysia for up to 90 days and are a citizen of 
the United States or one of the European Union member states, you do not need to 
obtain a visa. However, if you plan to stay in Malaysia for more than 90 days, you 
must apply for a Malaysia visa or the relevant Pass for your intended purpose of 
travel (work, study, family reunion, etc.)
• When should I apply for a visa to Malaysia?
• You have up to one month before your intended departure date to apply for a 
Malaysian visa.
• How can I apply for a visa to Malaysia?
• Foreign nationals can apply for a Malaysia visa using one of two methods:
• manually, or
• online.
• However, only a small number of nations (listed below) can apply for a 
Malaysian visa online. Most nationals who are required to obtain visas must do so at 
a Malaysian Representative Office Abroad or by way of a recognised visa application 
service.
•Who may submit an online application for a Malaysian visa?
• Certain international nationals have the option of applying for 
a visa online using the Malaysia eVisa, according to Malaysian 
authorities. You will receive a link to print your visa if your 
application for a Malaysian eVisa is approved; it won't be 
stamped onto your passport.
•Only citizens of the nations listed below are eligible to apply for 
a Malaysian visa online:
• Bangladesh
• Bhutan
• China
• India
• The eNTRI (Electronic Travel Registration and Information) is also open to 
citizens of China and India.
• You may read more about the Malaysia visa online application here if you are a 
citizen of one of the aforementioned nations.
• Processing Time for Visa Applications for Malaysia
• The amount of time it takes to obtain a Malaysian visa varies depending on your 
country, the method you use to apply, the time of year, and if you have all the 
required documentation.
• The processing time for Malaysian eVisa should not exceed 100 hours, or four 
days.
• If you submit your application using eNTRI, it ought to take 48–72 hours to 
complete your visa.
• If you submit a manual application, the office that handles it will determine how 
long it takes to process it. However, the Malaysia visa is typically processed in 7-
8 working days.
• How Can a Malaysian Single Entry Visa Be Extended?
• Malaysian single entry visas have a 30-day maximum validity term and 
cannot be extended. And a Social Visit Pass cannot.
• If you plan to stay in Malaysia for a longer amount of time than your Pass is 
valid for, you must depart and reapply for the pertinent Malaysian Visa/Pass.
• However, extending a Social Visit Pass is only possible in unusual cases and 
only after carefully considering each unique situation. For instance, if you get 
sick, suffer an accident, or return home to a dangerous circumstance (like a 
war), you can be given an extension for your Social Visit Pass.
• In this case, you will need to provide evidence supporting your claim in 
addition to a confirmed return ticket to your home country.
