Malaysia's eVisa Requires Birth Certificate for Minors
Malaysia's official eVisa portal has established a key requirement for foreign applicants under 18 years of age, mandating the upload of a Birth Certificate as part of their visa application. This requirement is non-negotiable, distinguishing it from optional documentation for other visa categories.
The portal also specifies that foreign nationals are prohibited from unauthorized employment, attending school, or acting as representatives of foreign media while in Malaysia. Violations of Malaysian law may lead to criminal proceedings and administrative actions.
The eVisa system offers two main types of visas: the Single Entry Visa (SEV), valid for six months, and the Multiple Entry Visa (MEV), which varies in validity based on the purpose of travel. MEV holders can stay in Malaysia for a maximum of 30 days per entry.
The SEV is valid for six months from issuance, while certain categories receive a shorter validity of three months.
