Common questions
- Do Indian citizens need a visa for Malaysia?
- Yes, Indian citizens need a visa for Malaysia. The quickest option is the eNTRI (Electronic Travel Registration) which costs about $85 and allows 15 days. For longer stays, apply for an eVisa.
- What is the difference between eNTRI and eVisa?
- eNTRI allows 15 days single entry and requires returning to India (or via Singapore/Thailand/Brunei). eVisa allows 30 days and offers more flexibility with no return route restrictions.
- How much does Malaysia visa cost for Indians?
- The eNTRI costs approximately $85 with standard processing. Express processing is $150. The eVisa costs around $100 but offers longer stay and more flexibility.
- How long can Indians stay in Malaysia?
- With eNTRI, you can stay up to 15 days. With eVisa, you can stay up to 30 days. Extensions are generally not permitted for either option.
- Can I extend my Malaysia visa?
- No, eNTRI cannot be extended. You must leave Malaysia within 15 days. If you need a longer stay, apply for an eVisa before travel instead.
- What are the return flight restrictions for eNTRI?
- With eNTRI, you must depart from India and return directly to India, or via Singapore, Thailand, or Brunei only. Other routes require an eVisa instead.
