To obtain a tourist visa for Malaysia, applicants must have a passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry, sufficient funds to cover their stay, and a confirmed return or onward travel ticket. Required documents include a completed Form IMM.47, a recent passport-sized photo, a copy of the passport bio-data page with previous visa stamps, a cover letter stating the purpose of the visit and travel itinerary, proof of accommodation such as hotel bookings or a letter from a host in Malaysia, financial proof such as bank statements or pay slips, and a flight booking confirmation. The application can be submitted online through the official eVisa website or the Malaysian Immigration Department portal, or through authorized visa application centers or the Malaysian embassy/consulate in the applicant’s country. The processing time is usually 2-5 working days, and the visa fee varies by nationality and type of visa. Additionally, a Visa on Arrival (VOA) is available for certain nationalities if entering Malaysia from Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, or Brunei, requiring a valid passport, confirmed return ticket, proof of sufficient funds (at least USD 500), and a valid visa from the country of departure, with a fee of approximately USD 100 and a stay duration of up to 7 days, non-extendable.
