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.
