Malaysia is one of the most affordable and family-friendly international holidays for Pakistani travellers. Kuala Lumpur, the cool hills of Genting, and island resorts like Langkawi and Penang can all fit into one trip. Pakistani passport holders need a visa, and most tourists apply online through the Malaysia eVISA system.
Before you start
- Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your arrival date
- Have a clear, recent passport-size photo with a white background
- Scan your passport's photo page in colour, with all four corners visible
- Have your return flight reservation and hotel booking ready
Tip: Use only the official Malaysian government eVISA website or an authorised agent. Many look-alike websites charge high "service fees" and some are scams.
Step-by-step
- Create an account on the official eVISA website.
- Fill in your personal and passport details exactly as they appear in your passport — spelling mistakes are the most common reason for rejection.
- Upload your documents: passport scan, photo, return flight reservation and hotel booking. Some applicants are also asked for bank statements or an employment letter.
- Pay the fee online.
- Wait for the decision by email, then download and print your eVISA.
Documents to carry when you travel
- Printed eVISA
- Return ticket
- Hotel bookings for your whole stay
- Some cash or a card for expenses
Immigration officers may ask about your plans, so know where you are staying and for how long.
Don't forget the tourism tax
Malaysian hotels charge foreign guests a small tourism tax per room, per night, paid directly at check-out. It is usually not included in package prices, so keep a little cash aside.
