In a press release issued on Tuesday by the Indian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the High Commission stated that India has now resumed the e-Visa regime for Malaysian nationals, effective on December 6, 2006.
As a result of the restoration of the e-visa system, Malaysian passport holders will now be able to apply for three different kinds of e-visas, including those for visiting India for business, tourism, or medical purposes.

The Indian e-Visa is now available for Malaysian nationals
There are three types of e-Visas that Malaysian visitors entering India with a Tourist eVisa can choose from. These e-Visas include the following:…
- Tourist eVisa – It is valid for 30 days and can be used for both entry and exit
- Tourist eVisa with Multiple Entry – Valid for a period of one year
- Multiple Entry Tourist eVisa – Valid for five years from the date of issue
It is important to note that both the one-year visa and the five-year visa are limited to a continuous stay of no more than 90 days during the same visit each time. Also, note that all three types of visas must be used within 120 days (4 months) of their issuance.
As a matter of fact, India recently restored the e-visa facility for UK nationals as well, which had been suspended since the Covid-19 epidemic. In other words, British tourists and business visitors to India will no longer need to make an appointment in person at a visa application center in order to apply for a visa.
