Official Information

Overview

Visa for business visitors and government officials requiring multiple entries into Malaysia, valid 3–12 months with stays determined at port of entry.

The Malaysia Multiple Entry Visa (MEV) is a travel authorization designed to facilitate frequent travel for foreign nationals who require a visa to enter the country. While Malaysia has long offered various visa types, the MEV framework was significantly updated and streamlined in early 2023 with the expansion of the eVISA system. This modernization was intended to support Malaysia's economic and tourism sectors by making it easier for business travelers, medical tourists, and frequent social visitors to enter and exit the country without the administrative burden of applying for a new visa for every trip.

This visa is ideal for individuals who maintain ongoing ties to Malaysia, such as business professionals attending regular meetings, patients seeking recurring medical treatment, or tourists using Malaysia as a regional hub for "Fly & Cruise" itineraries. A key distinguishing feature of the MEV is its multi-use nature, allowing travelers to enter and exit the country multiple times without re-applying. It serves as a middle ground between a one-time tourist entry and a long-term residency pass, catering specifically to those with frequent, short-term social or professional commitments in the region.
