Issued on arrival for tourists, family visitors, and business attendees, typically valid 14–90 days depending on nationality.
The Short-Term Social Visit Pass is Malaysia's entry document for temporary visitors—tourists, family members, and business travelers. It is issued at the port of entry for most nationalities, eliminating the need for prior embassy application. Requirements include a valid passport (6+ months validity), proof of sufficient funds, and proof of accommodation.
The pass grants 14–90 days depending on nationality and officer discretion. Form IMM.55 is completed at arrival. Holders are prohibited from employment or income-generating activities. The pass is renewable only in extraordinary circumstances (e.g., medical emergencies); extensions are generally unavailable.
This visa is ideal for tourists, family visitors, and business professionals attending conferences or meetings who wish to enter Malaysia without applying in advance at an embassy.
