Malaysia introduces Multiple Entry e-Visa (MEV) for Indian tourists
The Malaysian government introduced the new Multiple Entry E-Visa (MEV) for Indian tourists, effective immediately, from 1 August 2017 to 31 July 2018. The e-visa, which can be applied online at www.windowmalaysia.my, will allow all Indian nationals residing abroad (except Singapore), to spend up to 30 days in Malaysia per visit, and is valid for a period of three months.
The visa fee will cost INR 1000, (not inclusive of the bank charges of INR 50), as well as a 25 USD service charge. Applications will take 48 hours to process. This development comes as part of Malaysia’s Government efforts in increasing tourist arrivals from India, with a targeted 1 million tourist arrivals in 2017. India is currently the sixth top tourist generating market for Malaysia, with a total 638,578 Indian visitors recorded in 2016.
