Malaysia eVisa

The Malaysia eVisa is an online visa facility issued by the Immigration Department of Malaysia (Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia) for foreign nationals who require a visa to enter Malaysia. It is processed entirely online through the official portal, malaysiavisa.imi.gov.my, and allows applicants to apply from their country of residence without visiting an embassy in person. The eVisa is not applicable to foreign nationals already residing in Malaysia or Singapore, or to nationals of countries that do not have diplomatic relations with Malaysia. For Indian nationals specifically, a visa waiver currently allows visa-free entry for tourism, business, social, and transit purposes for up to 30 days, valid until 31 December 2026 — meaning the eVisa is generally only needed for stays beyond 30 days, or for purposes not covered by the waiver. As with every Malaysia Visa category, the final decision on approval rests solely with the Immigration Department of Malaysia.

Eligibility

You may need to apply for a Malaysia eVisa if:

  • Your nationality requires a visa to enter Malaysia, or your travel purpose or duration falls outside any applicable visa waiver.
  • You are applying from your country of residence (the eVisa is not applicable to those already residing in Malaysia or Singapore).
  • You hold a valid passport with sufficient remaining validity.
  • You can provide supporting documents relevant to your travel purpose (tourism, business, or other approved categories).

Indian nationals travelling for tourism, business, social, or transit purposes for up to 30 days are currently exempt from needing a visa under the ongoing waiver, so the eVisa mainly applies to longer stays or other specific circumstances.

Visa FeeAccording to nationality
Processing FeeRM105
Convenience Fee (card/Mastercard payment)0.8% of transaction amount
Convenience Fee (e-wallet: Alipay/WeChat Pay/UnionPay)1.7% of transaction amount

All fees are payable online at the time of application and are non-refundable, regardless of the outcome. The exact visa fee component varies by nationality — applicants should confirm the current amount for their nationality on the official eVisa portal before applying.

Malaysia Visa Processing Time

Once an eVisa application and all supporting documents are submitted online, processing generally takes a short period, though this can extend if the immigration authorities request additional documents or clarification. Applicants are advised to apply well ahead of their intended travel date to allow time for any follow-up requests. The approved eVisa must be printed on A4-size paper and presented at the Malaysia entry checkpoint upon arrival.

Required Documents Checklist

Information may vary depending on the visa category and individual circumstances.

Step-by-Step Application Process

Important Notes

The eVisa is not applicable to applicants already residing in Malaysia, Singapore, or countries without diplomatic relations with Malaysia.
Only three authorised agents — Malaysia VAC, Malaysia VLN, and MVAC — along with the official portal, are permitted to process eVisa applications.
All uploaded documents must meet the specified format to avoid rejection.
Visa fees are non-refundable, whether the application is approved, refused, or withdrawn.
Indian nationals travelling for stays of up to 30 days for tourism, business, social, or transit purposes are currently exempt from needing an eVisa under the ongoing visa waiver.
