Overview
Electronic visa for patients seeking medical treatment in registered Malaysian hospitals. Requires appointment confirmation from Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council member hospital.
The Malaysia Medical eVisa was established to facilitate the entry of international patients seeking high-quality healthcare services within the country. Managed in collaboration with the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), this visa category supports Malaysia's strategic initiative to position itself as a premier global destination for medical tourism. It provides a dedicated pathway for individuals to access specialized medical treatments, surgeries, and wellness programs offered by accredited private hospitals.
This visa is ideal for patients requiring non-emergency medical procedures, chronic disease management, or specialized consultations that are either unavailable or more costly in their home countries. It is also suitable for those who wish to have a family member or caregiver accompany them during their treatment period. A key distinguishing feature is the requirement for a formal appointment with an MHTC-registered healthcare provider, ensuring that the travel is legitimately tied to medical necessity.
