It is important for Indian passport holders to obtain a valid tourist visa before travelling to Malaysia. The visa application process involves fulfilling certain requirements and submitting the necessary documents.

Does Malaysia offer Indians a Visa on Arrival (VOA)?
Jump Tag Icon

Yes, Malaysia does offer Indians a Visa on Arrival, but it has its terms and conditions. You can get a VOA but solely through neighbouring countries like Thailand, Singapore, or Indonesia. Indians cannot directly arrive in Malaysia and request a tourist visa. The opportunity for Indian citizens to obtain a visa on arrival arises solely when they enter Malaysia via one of the aforementioned third countries: Thailand, Singapore, or Indonesia. This option proves beneficial if you have intentions to visit these additional countries as well. However, if your travel plans solely involve Malaysia, it would be more advisable to directly apply for a Malaysian Tourist Visa.
