What is Malaysia e-Visa?

A Malaysian e-Visa is an electronic visa that allows eligible foreign nationals to enter and travel within Malaysia for tourism, business, or medical purposes. It can be obtained through an online application process and is valid for a specific period of time. The Malaysian e-Visa conveniently eliminates the need to apply for a traditional visa at a Malaysian consulate or embassy.
