Malaysia eVisa Updates

Starting May 1, 2024, Malaysia is making it easier for tourists and students with some important updates to the eVisa policy. The biggest change is that the eVisa is now valid for 6 months, instead of just 3 months like before.This gives travelers a lot more time to enjoy everything Malaysia has to offer, whether you’re visiting for a vacation or studying abroad.

When you arrive, you can stay up to 30 days each time you enter the country. The 30-day period starts from the day you arrive, so no need to worry about counting days too carefully. Whether you’re here to explore Malaysia’s beautiful cities, nature, or culture, or just want to take in the sights and sounds, this extra time makes things much easier.

There’s even better news for some travelers. Tourists from China no longer need to apply for an eVisa if they’re visiting Malaysia for tourism. This change is great news for Chinese tourists, and the rule will stay in place until December 31, 2026. So, if you’re planning a trip from China, it’s one less thing to think about!

Indian tourists are also getting a special benefit. They don’t need a visa to visit Malaysia either, but this is only available until December 31, 2024. So, if you’re from India and planning a trip, now’s a great time to take advantage of this visa-free option.

These updates make it easier than ever for people from China and India to visit Malaysia, with fewer visa worries and more time to explore. Just be sure to double-check the dates and any requirements before your trip to make sure everything is all set.
