With this latest update, individuals in Singapore will be able to apply for the entry visa through the e-VISA portal3 online at any time and receive the visa within days, if complete documentation is submitted. However, if the application is not complete, the application may be either rejected or returned for additional documents or information.
Should it be rejected, a new application may be filled out. Therefore, it is important that the correct category of entry visa is applied for and the requisite documentation provided.
It is also important for travellers to bring any necessary documentation supporting the reason for entering Malaysia. The e-VISA must be printed clearly on plain A4 size paper along with the passport for immigration clearance. Additional documentation could include the long-term pass approval from Immigration Department of Malaysia, invitation letter from the host, itinerary or hotel booking, for example.
Receiving the e-VISA does not guarantee entry rights. Entry is still subject to immigration clearance at the point of entry.
Details are available on the Malaysian immigration website.4
