About the Malaysia visa

Malaysia combines Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers, the heritage streets of Penang and Melaka, the islands of Langkawi and the rainforests of Borneo. Indian citizens currently enjoy visa-free entry for tourism for up to 30 days under a special exemption.

Even when no visa is needed, every visitor must complete the free Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online within 3 days before arriving. For longer stays or if the exemption ends, Malaysia's eVISA is available online.

Malaysia visa types for Indians
