Entry rules
No visa needed for up to 30 days
- In the 3 days before you land, fill in the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) at imigresen-online.imi.gov.my. It is free (sites that charge are not official); keep the confirmation email. One card per traveller, children included.
- At immigration, show your passport, the MDAC confirmation and, if asked, your return ticket, hotel bookings and money for the stay. You are stamped in visa-free for up to 30 days.
- Flying on to Sabah (Kota Kinabalu) or Sarawak (Kuching, Mulu)? Those states run their own immigration check, so keep your passport with you on the domestic flight.
Carry: Passport valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive; Confirmed return or onward ticket leaving Malaysia within 30 days; Hotel bookings (or a host's address) for the whole stay; Money for the stay: cash, a forex card or a bank statement; MDAC confirmation (screenshot or printout).
Visa-free entry for Indians is in force until 31 December 2026, and no extension had been announced by late October 2026. For a trip that starts in 2027, check the Malaysian High Commission or malaysiavisa.imi.gov.my before you book: without an extension you will need an eVISA.
Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.
