Electronic visa for foreign patients traveling to Malaysia for medical treatment at approved hospitals, supported by a formal hospital invitation letter.
The eVisa Medical (Medical Treatment Visa) was developed by the Malaysian government in collaboration with the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) to facilitate the country's growing medical tourism sector. Established to simplify the entry process for international patients, it fills the gap for those requiring specialized medical care in Malaysia's private healthcare facilities. By providing a dedicated electronic visa category, the government ensures that patients and their companions can obtain the necessary authorization efficiently, supporting Malaysia's goal of becoming a premier global healthcare destination.
This visa is for foreign patients traveling to Malaysia specifically for medical treatment at MHTC-accredited hospitals. It is ideal for individuals with a confirmed appointment letter from a recognized Malaysian healthcare provider. It is distinctive because it requires proof of a medical appointment and is specifically tailored to support the patient's journey, often allowing for the inclusion of companions. It provides a structured, secure, and expedited pathway for those seeking high-quality medical services in Malaysia.
