What is the Malaysia Visa on Arrival?

The Malaysia Visa on Arrival (VOA) allows eligible travellers to obtain a short-stay visa at the point of entry, rather than applying in advance. It is offered only under specific conditions and to limited nationalities.

The VOA is typically available to travellers entering Malaysia from Singapore, Thailand or Brunei, who hold valid visas or entry status for those countries. For most Indian travellers, the eVisa, eNTRI or visa-free entry is the better and more reliable route — contact us and we'll confirm the best option for your trip.
