Malaysia has announced Visa on Arrival (VOA) effective 1 June for Indian travellers arriving in Malaysia through selected entry points via Singapore, Thailand, Brunei or Indonesia, with a valid visa from either country.

According to the Immigration Department of Malaysia (Mumbai Attaché), the VOA fee is MYR 200 ($ 46), and travellers must show that they have at least $ 500 cash/ credit card/ debit card/ traveller’s cheque or any electronic money which is certified by the Central Bank of Malaysia (Bank Negara Malaysia).

Travellers are allowed to stay up to 15 days with a confirmed return air ticket. Malaysia has opened its shores for quarantine-free travel and welcomes fully vaccinated international travellers starting 1 May.

Fully vaccinated inbound travellers are no longer required to undergo pre-departure and on-arrival COVID-19 tests, including children aged 17 and below. Currently, Malaysia’s eVISA can also be applied online and more than 18,000 seats are offered weekly between India and Malaysia through Malaysia Airlines, Malindo Air, AirAsia, IndiGo and Air India Express. India has been and remains one of the top market sources for Malaysia, contributing 735,309 arrivals (+22%) in 2019.
