FAQ for Indian applicants
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Malaysia?+
Under the current exemption scheme, short tourist stays are allowed without a visa, but the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card is still mandatory. Longer or non-tourist stays need the paid eVISA.
What is the MDAC and is it really required?+
The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card is an online arrival declaration filed within three days before arrival. It is required for exempt travellers too, and counters do turn people back to file it.
How long can Indian travellers stay in Malaysia?+
The exemption covers short stays as stamped at arrival; the eVISA grants up to 30 days per entry within three months of issue.
Can I travel to Sabah and Sarawak on the same entry?+
Yes, but Sabah and Sarawak run their own immigration controls, so you get a new stamp on internal flights and should carry your passport for domestic legs.
Is the Malaysia eVISA single entry?+
The standard eVISA is single entry with a 30-day stay. Multiple-entry options exist for specific purposes and require additional supporting documents.
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Malaysia?+
Yes. Indian passport holders need a E-Visa to enter Malaysia. It can be applied for entirely online through Vizaezy and is typically issued in 48 hours.
How long does the Malaysia visa take for Indian applicants?+
Median processing time is 48 hours from the moment your documents are submitted. Vizaezy tracks your application against the government portal in real time.
How much does a Malaysia visa cost from India?+
Total cost is USD 55 — that's USD 25 in government fees plus USD 30 for Vizaezy's service. Government fees are non-refundable, our service fee is refunded if the visa is denied.
How long can Indian citizens stay in Malaysia?+
The E-Visa permits a stay of up to 30 days and is valid for 90 days from issue.

Malaysia runs two parallel routes for Indian travellers: the paid eVISA for regular tourism, and the free eNTRI-style visa exemption for short stays under the current scheme. Picking the wrong one wastes either money or time at the counter.
