Malaysia Visa Guideline

To obtain a Malaysian visa, foreign nationals need to submit a completed application form, passport, passport photos, flight itinerary, proof of accommodation, and proof of sufficient funds. Depending on the purpose of the visit and nationality, additional documents like an invitation letter or employment documents might be required. Visa applications can be submitted in person or by mail to the Malaysian Representative Office. 

Key Requirements and Steps:

1. Determine if a visa is needed:
Not all nationalities require a visa for short visits. For example, ASEAN nationals (excluding Myanmar) can enter Malaysia for less than one month without a visa, according to the Malaysian Immigration Department. 

2. Gather necessary documents:
This includes:

• • Completed application form: Obtain the correct form from the Malaysian Representative Office or embassy.

  • Original passport: Ensure it's valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay.

  • Passport photos: Typically two recent passport-sized photos with a white background.

  • Flight itinerary: A confirmed return ticket is usually required.

  • Proof of accommodation: Hotel booking or a sponsor letter from a Malaysian host.

  • Proof of sufficient funds: Bank statements showing adequate funds for the duration of the stay.

  • Other documents: Depending on the visa type and nationality, you might need an invitation letter, employment documents, or other supporting documents.

3. Submit the application:
Submit the completed application form and supporting documents to the Malaysian Representative Office (embassy or consulate). 

4. Pay the application fee:
Pay the required fee for processing the visa. 

5. Wait for processing:
Processing times can vary, so it's best to apply well in advance of your planned travel date. 

Additional Tips:

• Check the specific requirements for your nationality and visa type on the Malaysian Immigration Department website.

• If you are unsure about any requirements, contact the Malaysian Representative Office for clarification.

• Be aware that visa applications can be submitted by post in some locations, but it's often recommended to submit them in person for faster processing.
