Malaysia Social Visit eVisa — Complete Guide
The Malaysia Social Visit eVisa is an electronic travel authorisation for eligible foreign nationals who wish to visit Malaysia for social purposes — including visiting relatives, attending family events, weddings, cultural ceremonies, or non-commercial social engagements.
The Social Visit eVisa is distinct from the Tourist eVisa in that it is specifically issued for visits of a social or personal nature rather than general tourism. If you have family or close relatives residing in Malaysia, this is the appropriate visa category.
The Social Visit eVisa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, allowing a single entry with a permitted stay of up to 30 days. Standard processing takes 3 business days.
