Official travel advisories
Confirm the visa-exemption conditions
The Indian-national social-visit exemption currently runs through 31 December 2026; verify the official rule again before travel.
Submit the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card
Complete the MDAC in the permitted period before arrival using the official immigration portal.
Carry your onward travel and accommodation evidence
Keep your return/onward ticket, accommodation details and sufficient-funds evidence available for airline or immigration checks.
Clear immigration on arrival
Present your passport and comply with normal admission requirements; a visa or eNTRI is not required for the current exemption route.
Entry readiness
Entry eligibility is broader than the visa itself. Use these checks alongside the destination's official portal and your airline's travel-document guidance.
Confirm that visa-free conditions cover your real reason for visiting Malaysia and your complete intended stay.
Match the booking, application and passport exactly. Check expiry, blank pages and physical condition.
Keep return or onward tickets, stay details and host information accessible offline when required.
Check every connection for transit permission, baggage recheck, terminal change, health or digital arrival forms.
Avoid delays and refusal
Is Malaysia currently visa-free for Indians?
Yes, Indian nationals are currently exempt from the visa requirement for social visits through 31 December 2026, subject to the official conditions of entry.
Can I stay longer than 30 days under the exemption?
No. For a longer or different-purpose stay, check the appropriate Malaysian visa route before travel.
Does a Malaysia visa or entry exemption guarantee admission?
No. The airline checks whether you appear eligible to travel, while Malaysia immigration makes the final entry decision. Keep your passport, onward travel, accommodation and any requested supporting evidence ready.
Should I book non-refundable flights before confirming Malaysia entry requirements?
Avoid non-refundable commitments until you understand the applicable entry route, document requirements and processing time, unless you accept the risk or an application specifically requires a reservation.
