Upon arrival at Malaysian check points, the applicant will need to present a valid eVISA printout along with proof of sufficient funds such as cash, travellers cheque, international debit or credit cards to cover expenses during the stay in Malaysia, confirmed return flight ticket, travel itinerary and hotel vouchers or any other proof of accommodation. eVISA processing takes two working days excluding weekends and public holidays.

An eNTRI Note will be issued that validates a single entry journey for Indian nationals staying in India as well as Indian expatriates residing all over the world (excluding Singapore) into Malaysia for maximum 15 days for tourism purpose only. An eNTRI Note is valid for 3 months from the date of issuance and this should be presented upon arrival in Malaysia.
