Ultimate Malaysia Visa Guide For Indians

 

About Malaysia Tourism

 

If you have already made your mind to visit Malaysia for any reason, then you should read this guide till the end, as I will be covering the smallest point which could help you get your visa for Malaysia.

Every year Indian visiting to Malaysia statistics is growing than that of the previous year. According to the article published by thehindubusinessline.com, Malaysian Tourism Board director Suleiman Suib has confirmed that traveler from India for tourism ranks in the top 10 Countries for Malaysia.

 

Entry to this country is only possible if a visitor has a valid Malaysia Visa

 

What is Malaysia Visa?

 

An official document issued by the Government of Malaysia to Indian Nationals for their visit to Malaysia.

This document is issued only after certain documents are provided by the traveler to the Malaysian Government. After thorough verification, a permit to enter the Country is issued for a specific period for General visit.

 

Malaysia Visa has to be shown at the time when you are traveling to Malaysia, also it is very important to know having a valid Malaysia visa does not guarantee your entry to Malaysia.

 

It means you will be inspected by the Immigration department in your home country, as well as by the Immigration Department of Malaysia, after screening your profile at both places your entry to this Country will be granted.

 

Fly For Holidays is an authorized agent of Window Malaysia Immigration to process Malaysia Visa, so you did not need to worry, as you are at the right place for processing your Malaysia visa. We have trained our staff thoroughly about the process and we keep them up to date about the policies and regulation of the Immigration department

Different Types of Malaysia Visa

Depending on your visit, I’m sure you will be able to cover your stay from one of the below-mentioned categories.

  • Malaysia eNTRI Note
  • Malaysia Single Entry Visa
  • Malaysia E Visa
  • Malaysia Sticker Visa

These are the most popular visa category which Indian tends to apply for their visit to Malaysia.

 

Apart from these visa categories, there are few more categories which are not common, but it exists.

  • Malaysia Student Visa
  • Malaysia Work Visa
  • Malaysia Dependent Visa

Let us breakdown each category with its description, procedure, and documentation.

 

Malaysia eNTRI Note: A most restrictive note with a validity of 90 days allowing an individual to stay 15 days in Malaysia.

For any type of entry, a document is named as a visa, but the Malaysian Government has named this type of document as an eNTRI note.

In other words this document act as a visa, but it is named Malaysia eNTRI note.

 

Malaysia Single Entry Visa:  This is one of the tourist visa categories which we do not recommend any applicant to apply, the reason is this visa allows only a single entry to Malaysia, but the cost that Malaysia Government charges are same as Multiple Entry Visa.

This visa is again valid for 90 days only for a visit with a stay period of a maximum of 30 days single entry in Malaysia.

 

Malaysia E Visa: This is one of the most popular visa categories, as it does not have any restriction neither, has a different procedure to follow. This type of visa is allowed to enter Malaysia multiple times with a validity of 90 days and stay of 30 days at each entry.

It means you will have to exit the country before the visa expires and before the 30th date of your entry into the Country.

 

Malaysia Sticker Visa: This type of visa is no longer applied by any applicant in India. Out of 10, not even 1 application opts for a Malaysia sticker visa. A few years back all applicants had to process the Malaysia Sticker visa only, as there was no other option.

 

Processing sticker visa is a bit tedious process compared to another visa category, as this visa is a completely offline process. Earlier Malaysian Government used to give multiple entries with a validity of 1 year and a maximum of 30 days stay in the Country each time, nowadays the Government gives multiple entries with 90 days validity and 30 days stay or maximum of 180 days validity and 30 days stay for sticker visa too.

So applicants prefer processing E-Visa which is an online process & hassle-free. We will discuss visa costs later in this article.

What are Malaysia eNTRI note fees?

 

Malaysian Government visa fees are NIL, however, VFS Global does charge their convenience fees of USD 22.50 which comes around Rs.1,650/- and Fly For Holidays service charge is Rs.500/-.

Many of our clients say that few companies are offering them 80 to 100% cashback, why Fly For Holidays doesn’t?

Every company does charge initial payment, which is their service fee.

Once they send your eNTRI note, over the email, they will then ask you to make a balance payment of visa. If there is 80-100% cashback then why are they charging you?

 

They will be giving your money into your account, is it a bank account? No, it isn’t a bank account, they will be uploading in your user account.

Now when you see that money into your user account, you feel that you have wisely earned them into your account.

This is not true, because that money will be adjusted in your other travel bookings, wherein you are restricting yourself to make all travel bookings through them.

 

This ends up paying double the actual cost of those bookings because no Company in this World is going to bear your Visa or tour expenses of Malaysia or any other Country from their pocket.

We at Fly For Holidays, believe to keep outermost transparency with our customers. We do not try to manipulate things or restrict our clients for anything. We would be happy to book all your travel needs keeping 100% transparency with our customers.

  • If you have failed to give all flight tickets.
  • If you haven’t booked a hotel reservation for the entire stay.
  • Third country visa, if you are entering or exiting to the third country than a valid visa is required, failure may lead to visa rejection.
  • If your passport is banned from international travel due to some suspicious activities.
  • If you are re-visiting Malaysia very frequently.
  • If you have been involved in any criminal activities in Malaysia during your past travel.
  • If you have been deported from any country in the past due to any reason.
  • Planning a long stay in Malaysia will make immigration officers think about suspicious activities as normally people tend to spend 8 to 10 days in Malaysia for tourism.

Can I reapply if my visa is rejected?

Yes, you can re-apply immediately if your visa is rejected, the only points that you have to make sure that is appropriate.

It is important to understand that several country immigration officers do not provide rejection reason, Malaysia is one of them e.g. Chinese Consulate gives in writing about the reason of China Visa Rejection, wherein Malaysian Immigration does not give any reason for the same.

 

In this case, we will have to review your past application thoroughly, also we do recommend our customers to inform us whether their Malaysia visa was rejected in the past.

Based on reviews, our visa expertise will guide you on whether to reapply or not.

Getting approval for the rejected visa is simple, as long as the reason for rejection was based on insufficient documentation, which is provided later while reapplying.

 

This advice can be given in person, as it differs from case to case. Be rest assured, it will be our responsibility to get your Malaysia visa approved. (subject to Malaysian immigration department)But at the same time it your responsibility to give us in detail your details and the way you tried to apply.

This was all about the Malaysia Tourist visas types which are processed online, where people can communicate with our expert and get their visa work done in a few steps over the phone and email.

Malaysia Sticker Visa:

Another visa category which is called Malaysia Sticker visa is also applied for an applicant who wishes to visit Malaysia for tourism or business.

 

Demand for this type of visa is no longer available, as a process, procedure, and documentation are tedious than e visa. E-Visas were started post-2015, before which Indians had to apply for a sticker visa.

 

These days many of them are unaware of this visa category, as everyone wants to get their work done easily and why not. People who wish to visit Malaysia frequently for Business purpose or an applicant whose immediate family member is working & residing in Malaysia tend to apply this type of visa.

 

What is the major difference between e visa and a sticker visa?

The major difference is the validity of the visa, e visa is approved only a maximum of 90 days from the date of issuance of visa; whereas sticker visa can be approved for 365 days as well depending on the travel history and request (subject to immigration approval).

Another major difference is visa fees since it has a longer validity; visa fees cost around Rs.7,500/-

 

What are the documents required for processing the Malaysia sticker visa?

Since this is an offline process, all the documents will be required in terms of hard copy. Below is the list of documents that are required to process Malaysia sticker visa

 

  • Original valid passport, it should be valid at least 9 months.
  • 2 Recently clicked photograph taken against a white background with 70-75% coverage of face printed on matt finish paper.
  • Duly filled & signed application form with all correct details.
  • A cover letter explaining your visit to Malaysia. The following points are to be covered. Name, passport number, any person traveling along with you, if yes his name and passport details. Where you will be staying in Malaysia, entry and exit dates & number of days stay in Malaysia
  • 03 Months attested bank statements; it should be signed and authorized by a bank officer.
  • Confirmed return flight ticket.
  • A document that proves your stay in Malaysia – Hotel or residence.
  • In case you have a person inviting from Malaysia, then ask him to send an invitation letter – it should cover his name, passport number, residence address, mobile number & email, along with these details he has to mention about his current employment status in Malaysia. He will also have to write how is he related to you, the reason for inviting and complete personal & passport details of the applicant.
  • An applicant has to ask him to send a few documents over the email e.g. Passport copy front & back, residence card copy, employment pass, invitation letter, and residence proof.
  • If you are requesting long term for business purpose then you will have to follow the same process, but instead, you will have to ask your inviting company to send an invitation letter on company letterhead sealed and signed by an authorized person of the company.
  • Apart from the invitation letter, a cover letter will be required to be prepared on the Indian company letterhead, again it should cover the same details, but it has to be authorized & attested by an authorized person of the Indian Company.

 

Note: Any request or any message that you feel you have to give to the Consulate has to be mentioned on an official cover letter, the only document wherein the applicant can communicate with Malaysian immigration.

After considering all the points, the Malaysian Immigration officer will conclude your visa application.

 

The procedure of applying for Malaysia Sticker visa

Once you have all the above documents in place, you will have to get in touch with our visa expert, who will then verify your documents over the what’s app or email.

This is an offline process, but it does not mean you have to visit the center, our executive will be taking care of all your visa worries and we will be processing your application.

 

Once verification is done, we will then arrange a person who will be visiting your place to collect all the documents.

Once we receive it in our office, the next what we do is acknowledge it to you over the email that we have received your passport and other documents for processing Malaysia sticker visa.

 

We will then submit your application to the Malaysian Consulate. It takes around 6 to 7 working days for the Malaysian immigration department to conclude the application.

We will be checking online for the status of the application, the day it is ready for collection, our executive will visit the center and collect the passport.

The next step for you is to make the payment of visa fees and service charges of Fly For Holidays, so we can get it delivered as soon as possible.

 

Is there any chance of Malaysia Sticker Visa Rejection?

Yes, earlier it used to get easily approved but these days there are high chances of sticker visa rejection. The reason is why you need a long term visa. If your visit is short then you can process an e visa which has 90 days validity, for all the travelers whose primary purpose is a tourism and intended stay is less than 15 days will not go ahead with sticker visa.

 

Then it is very important to understand and prove that what is the reason why you need long term validity, failing to prove this,  is the main reason for sticker visa rejection. Apart from this, an officer can also reject your visa due to insufficient funds in the bank account. If they feel doubtful about inviter’s documents or his current status in Malaysia.

 

This was all about Malaysia visas, its different types, procedure, and reason for rejection of the visa. It is always necessary to take the proper guidance and support from the trust-worthy visa agents.

 

Conclusion: Planning a short trip to Malaysia, It offers multiple types of visa as per your convenience and travel plans to visit Malaysia. eNTRI Note, Single Entry, and Multiple Entry are the most preferred visa types by the Indians who intend to visit for tourism purposes, meeting family & friends, or for business purposes with the processing fee of less than 30 USD and processing time of 3 – 4 working days.
