Single-entry permit for social visits and tourism in Malaysia, processed online in 2–7 working days.
The Malaysia Single Entry Visa (SEV) is a short-term entry permit for foreign nationals from non-visa-exempt countries seeking to visit Malaysia for social purposes, including tourism or family visits. It provides pre-arrival vetting while maintaining relatively quick processing.
Processing takes 2–7 working days (excluding weekends and public holidays). Visa fees vary by nationality in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR): India RM 50, China/South Korea RM 30, most countries RM 20. The visa allows a single entry valid for 3 months from issuance; spouses cannot work in Malaysia on this visa. Apply online via malaysiavisa.imi.gov.my/evisa/evisa.jsp.
This visa is ideal for tourists planning a one-time visit to Malaysia without intent to use it as a regional travel hub, particularly those from countries where visa-free entry is unavailable or where the e-Visa system does not apply.
