A trip to Malaysia can be a fantastic way to relax and unwind. If you're planning an international trip, Malaysia is an excellent destination to consider. Many people are unaware of how beautiful Malaysia truly is. The fact is that only a few people plan to go to Malaysia while planning a trip abroad. However, Malaysia has so much to offer to comfort your travel-weary soul, from magnanimous skyscrapers to beautiful island life, from wild jungles to picturesque rainforests.
Malaysia is situated in Southeast Asia on the Malay Peninsula and the island of Borneo. Its tourist attractions include rainforests, beaches, and a mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European cultures. The capital of Malaysia is Kuala Lumpur, home to the famous 451m-tall Petronas Twin Towers.
Malaysia provides various types of tourist visas, details about the visas are given below:
The Malaysian government provides an online registration facility for tourists called Electronic Travel Registration & Information (eNTRI). This facility allows tourists to apply for a single journey eNTRI Visa to visit Malaysia as a tourist. With this visa, tourists are permitted to stay in Malaysia for a maximum of 15 days. The validity of the eNTRI Visa is three months from the date of issue.
The eVISA is equivalent to an eNTRI visa, and there will be no stamp on your passport related to this. You will need the eVISA to enter or travel within Malaysia, and it allows you to stay for up to 30 days. The validity of this visa is three months. It takes four days to process your application after applying for the visa. Once the visa is approved, you will receive a copy of it on your registered email ID, and it's important to keep a printout with you while travelling.
If you are planning to visit Malaysia for work, business, or to meet your friends and family, you can apply for a long-term visa. This visa is valid for a period of 3 to 12 months from the date of issuance. You can enter Malaysia multiple times within 12 months, but each stay cannot exceed 30 days. The visa cannot be extended beyond the initial duration. This visa will be stamped on the travellers passports.
