Requirements

Indian passport holders typically require a visa for Malaysia. The Malaysia eVisa (eNTRI or tourist eVisa) allows tourism stays — eligibility, duration, and single vs multiple entry depend on current Immigration Department policy. Passport must be valid six months beyond entry.

Processing

Apply via the official Malaysia Visa Application Centre or eVisa portal. Processing commonly 3–5 working days. eNTRI where available is faster but restricts entry points and duration.

Official source

Indian nationals should verify the current eVisa and eNTRI status on official Malaysian government websites — categories and quotas change.
