Malaysia Sets Conditions for Multiple Entry Visas for Foreigners

Malaysia's Immigration Department has announced the conditions required for foreign nationals to qualify for the Multiple Entry Visa. This visa is mainly intended for individuals entering Malaysia for government-to-government purposes.

However, citizens from India and the People's Republic of China are also eligible to apply for the visa when visiting for social purposes. For business and government-related visits, the visa is valid for a duration ranging from three to twelve months from the date of issue.

Indian and Chinese nationals applying under the social visit category will receive a one-year visa, but each entry into Malaysia is limited to a maximum of 30 days. It is important to note that extensions of stay are not permitted under this category.
