Malaysia Visa for Pakistani Citizens
Pakistan is listed for Malaysia’s tourist eVISA, which can be applied for through the Immigration Department portal before travel. The eVISA is permission to travel for entry inspection, not a guarantee of admission; complete the separate Malaysia Digital Arrival Card when the current entry rules require it.
Visa type: eVisa (apply online)
Do Pakistani passport holders need a Malaysia visa?
Pakistani passport holders need a visa to enter Malaysia, normally the online eVisa for tourism. The free eNTRI facility you may read about online is only for Indian and Chinese nationals, not Pakistanis. Entry rules change often, so confirm the current requirement and the right route for your trip on Malaysia's official immigration portal or with the High Commission before you book.

How to apply for a Malaysia visa from Pakistan
- 01
Confirm the eVisa route
For tourism, Pakistani passport holders normally apply online for Malaysia's eVisa. Check the current requirement and the exact document list on Malaysia's official immigration portal before you start, as rules are updated regularly.
- 02
Gather your documents
Prepare clear copies of the passport, photograph and the travel evidence requested by the live form. Check the portal’s current file and image requirements before uploading.
- 03
Apply online
Complete the application on the official portal or through an authorised agent, upload your documents and pay the fee by card.
- 04
Wait for approval
Track your application by email. Once approved, download and print your eVisa to carry with you.
- 05
Fly and clear immigration
Show your printed eVisa, passport, return ticket and hotel booking at Kuala Lumpur immigration on arrival.
Processing time
Use the processing information displayed by the official eVISA portal when you apply. Additional checks or corrections can lengthen the process, so leave a practical buffer and avoid treating a travel seller’s estimate as a guarantee.
Validity & stay
The eVisa is usually a single-entry visa for a short tourist stay, commonly up to around 30 days, valid to enter within a limited window from the date of issue. Your exact permitted stay is set by the officer at the immigration counter on arrival, so always check the stamp in your passport and confirm the current terms on the official portal.
Tips to strengthen your Malaysia visa application
- Book refundable or flexible flights until your visa is approved, so you're not locked in if timelines slip.
- Fill in the free Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online within three days before you fly — it's a separate step required on top of your eVisa.
- Keep printed copies of your eVisa approval, hotel bookings and return ticket, since immigration can ask for them on arrival.
- Use Kuala Lumpur as a base: the Petronas Towers, Batu Caves and Genting Highlands are all easy trips from the city.
