Recent Policy Update:
No visa required up to 90 days. Other purposes of travel or longer stays may require a visa. Please, contact Travel Visa Pro to discuss as need. See additional notes below.

To enter Malaysia:

Your passport must be valid for at least six months. If you are planning onward travel after departing Malaysia, please note that many other countries in the region require at least six months’ remaining validity on your passport to enter. You do not need a visa if you are coming for business or tourism for 90 days or less. Immigration officials will place an entry stamp, known as a social visit pass (visa), in your passport authorizing a stay of up to 90 days. Travelers may apply to the Immigration Department for extensions of up to two months. Neither the U.S. Government nor the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur can intervene on your behalf when you apply for a Malaysian visa, nor can we advocate for your admission into Malaysia if you are denied entry. See the Malaysian Immigration Department’s website for more information.

Travel Document: Persons traveling on a USCIS-issued Travel Document must apply for a visa prior to traveling to Malaysia.

Border Crossings: You are advised to follow all entry directions, present your passports only to immigration officials, and be sure immigration officials stamp your passport with the correct date upon entering and exiting Malaysia. Lacking correct documentation or proof of entry into Malaysia may result in high fines and detention.

Sabah and Sarawak: The eastern states of Sabah and Sarawak (on the island of Borneo) have special entry requirements. You must have your passport to enter or exit Sabah or Sarawak, even when arriving from peninsular Malaysia on domestic flights.

Dual Nationality: Malaysia does not recognize or permit dual nationality. If Malaysian authorities learn that you are a U.S.-Malaysia dual national, they may require you to immediately forfeit your U.S. passport or your Malaysian citizenship. U.S.-Malaysia dual nationals should consider this issue seriously before traveling to Malaysia. See our dual nationality page for more information.

U.S.-Israeli Dual Nationals: Immigration officials have denied entry to U.S.-Israeli dual nationals who have presented their Israeli passports to show exit stamps from their last destination. Therefore, it is important that U.S.-Israeli dual nationals use their U.S. passports to depart the last country on their itinerary prior to arriving in Malaysia.

Visa Overstays: Malaysian immigration authorities have exit controls at all ports of departure and routinely fine and detain foreigners who overstay their social visit passes (visas). If you overstay your visa, you will not be allowed to exit Malaysia until you resolve the overstay with the Immigration Department of Malaysia.

Carry your passport (containing the Malaysian entry stamp) with you at all times in case authorities question your immigration status. Several U.S. citizens have been arrested during immigration sweeps and detentions may last from a few hours to several weeks. Check your visa status periodically while in Malaysia and strictly follow immigration laws and regulations.

    Can I extend my Malaysia visa once in-country?

    Extension policies vary. In most cases, you can apply for an extension at the local Public Security Bureau before your current visa expires. Contact Travel Visa Pro for specific guidance.

    Do I need to show hotel bookings or flight confirmations?

    Yes, proof of travel is required for all visa services regardless of processing speed. Accepted documents include airline confirmations, hotel reservations, and employer travel letters.

    Can Travel Visa Pro help if I need my visa urgently?

    What happens if I overstay my visa?

    What if my passport doesn't have enough validity?

    Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay. If it doesn’t meet this requirement, Travel Visa Pro can help you expedite a passport renewal before applying for your visa.

    What's the difference between applying through Travel Visa Pro and going directly to the consulate?

    When you apply through Travel Visa Pro, we review your documents for errors, handle submission on your behalf, and provide real-time tracking. Going direct means managing the entire process yourself with limited support if issues arise.
