Petronas Towers, street food, and rainforest an hour from the city.
Indian passport holders currently enter Malaysia visa-free for 30 days — but only until 31 December 2026, and only with a Malaysia Digital Arrival Card filed before every single entry. The card is free; we file it and confirm it's accepted.
A few details for Malaysia are still pending verification against official sources — we'll update this page as soon as they're confirmed.

Why people go
Malaysia is one of the most comfortable Southeast Asian destinations for Indian travellers, largely because of the long-established Malaysian Indian community — Tamil is widely spoken, Batu Caves is one of the most significant Murugan temples outside India, and Thaipusam there draws enormous crowds. That means Indian food, including pure-vegetarian, is genuinely easy everywhere. Flights from most Indian metros run four to five hours with heavy low-cost competition, English is widely spoken, and the country offers city, beach, highlands, and rainforest in one trip. Kuala Lumpur also works well as a shopping destination.

Common rejection reasons & how to avoid them
Not filing a new MDAC for re-entry
The arrival card covers one arrival only. If you hop to Singapore or Thailand and come back, you need a fresh one — this catches out a lot of travellers.
No confirmed onward ticket
Immigration checks for a return or onward booking within 30 days, even though there's no visa to refuse.
Assuming visa-free entry is permanent
The exemption for Indian nationals runs to 31 December 2026. Check the current position if you're booking travel beyond that.
Frequently asked questions
Not right now. Indian passport holders enter visa-free for up to 30 days under an exemption that currently runs until 31 December 2026. You do still need to file a Malaysia Digital Arrival Card before each entry.
