Malaysia eVISA for Pakistanis — overview
Malaysia is a favourite destination for Pakistani travellers, offering modern cities, tropical islands, rainforests and excellent halal food. Ordinary Pakistani passport holders need a visa, but the process is simple: you can apply online for a Malaysia eVISA through the official Malaysian immigration portal, with no embassy visit required for a standard tourist visa. A single-entry tourist eVISA typically allows a stay of up to 30 days.
How to apply for a Malaysia eVISA
- Visit the official Malaysia Visa portal and create an account. Use only the official government website.
- Fill in the application with your personal and passport details exactly as they appear in your passport.
- Upload documents: passport bio page scan, photograph, return flight booking, accommodation proof and any additional documents requested.
- Pay the fees online by debit or credit card.
- Download your eVISA once approved and print it for your journey.
Documents commonly required
- Passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry, with blank pages
- Recent passport-size photograph with a white background
- Confirmed return or onward flight booking
- Hotel booking for your stay or an invitation letter
- Bank statement or proof of funds may be requested
- Any additional documents requested by the immigration department
Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC)
Most foreign visitors must also complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online within the required period before arrival. It is free on the official immigration website. Keep the confirmation on your phone or printed.
On arrival in Malaysia
At immigration, present your passport, printed eVISA, MDAC confirmation, return ticket and hotel booking. Officers may ask about the purpose of your visit and how much money you are carrying, so keep some proof of funds. Entry is at the discretion of immigration officers.
