Malaysia Entry Requirements 2026

Citizens from many countries can enter Malaysia without a visa for stays ranging from 14 to 90 days, depending on nationality. Check with the Malaysian Immigration Department for the most up-to-date list of eligible countries.

Travelers from non-visa-free countries can apply for an e-visa online through the official Malaysia e-Visa portal. This convenient option streamlines the process and is valid for tourism and short-term visits.

All travelers must complete the MDAC online within 3 days prior to their arrival. This digital card replaces the traditional arrival forms, integrating immigration, customs, and health declarations into a single, easy-to-use platform. Submit your MDAC via the official Malaysia Digital Arrival Card website.

*Important note: As of June 1, 2024, travelers from 63 countries can now use the autogate system for quicker immigration processing. This benefit is also available to diplomats stationed in Malaysia and their family members, ensuring a smooth and efficient entry experience. Be sure to check if your nationality qualifies for autogate use before traveling.

Malaysia has lifted most COVID-19-related restrictions, but some health measures remain in place:

• Travelers may be required to complete a health declaration form online or upon arrival. Check with your airline or the official Malaysian Ministry of Health website for updates.
• Health screenings, including temperature checks, may still occur at some entry points.
