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.
Government Visa Fees
| Fee Component | Amount |
| Visa Fee | According to nationality |
| Processing Fee | RM105 |
| 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.
