Malaysia visa FAQs

Do Indians need a visa for Malaysia right now?

No, not for visits of up to 30 days until 31 December 2026. Malaysia's visa waiver for Indian nationals covers business, tourism, social and transit visits. You must carry a passport valid for six months, a confirmed return ticket and a hotel booking, and submit the MDAC online before you arrive. Work is not allowed.

What happens after 31 December 2026?

As of 24 October 2026, Malaysia has not announced whether the waiver will be extended. Before the waiver, Indians used eNTRI (up to 15 days per visit) or an eVISA. If your trip is in 2027, check with us or the High Commission before booking. Travlys files eNTRI or eVISA applications from ₹999 (Travlys fee) once the route is confirmed.

What is the MDAC and is it free?

The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card is a compulsory online form for foreign visitors, and it is free on the official portal, imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main. The High Commission says Indian visitors must submit it three days before the arrival date. Avoid paid lookalike sites. Travlys can file it with you so the details match your bookings.

Can I work or stay longer than 30 days on visa-free entry?

No. The waiver allows up to 30 days and does not permit work. Paid work needs a work permit, employment pass or Visa With Reference arranged before travel, and longer visits need the right visa. Tell us your plans and Travlys will advise the correct visa and prepare the application.

How much do you charge?

Service starts at ₹999 for an eNTRI or e-Visa filing; Imigresen fees are paid separately. For visa-free trips there is no visa fee, and we can help with the MDAC and your documents.
