Malaysia Entry FAQs
Common questions about entering Malaysia with visa-free entry or e-Visa for Indian citizens
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Malaysia?
Currently, from December 1, 2023, until December 31, 2025, Indian citizens can enjoy **30-day visa-free entry** into Malaysia for tourism purposes. This means a traditional visa or e-Visa is **not required** for stays up to 30 days, provided you register on the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) before arrival and meet other conditions.
What is the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC)?
The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) is a mandatory online registration that all foreign visitors, including those eligible for visa-free entry, must complete within **three days prior to their arrival** in Malaysia. It collects your personal and travel details and is a prerequisite for immigration clearance.
How long can I stay in Malaysia with the visa-free entry?
Indian citizens can stay for a maximum of **30 days** under the visa-free entry policy. If you intend to stay longer or for purposes other than tourism, you will need to apply for an appropriate e-Visa or conventional visa beforehand.
When would I still need a Malaysia e-Visa or conventional visa?
You would need an e-Visa or conventional visa if:
- Your intended stay exceeds 30 days.
- Your purpose of visit is not tourism (e.g., employment, study, long-term business).
- You are traveling from a country not covered by the current visa-free policy (not applicable for Indians for short tourism currently).
Can I extend my 30-day visa-free stay in Malaysia?
The 30-day visa-free entry is generally non-extendable. For longer stays, you must obtain an appropriate visa (e.g., an e-Visa if eligible) before traveling to Malaysia. Overstaying the permitted duration can lead to penalties, fines, or future entry bans.
