Business Travel to Malaysia

Malaysia Business eVisa for Professionals

The Malaysia Business eVisa is designed for foreign professionals travelling to Malaysia for legitimate short-term business activities — including attending corporate meetings, participating in trade exhibitions, exploring investment opportunities, conducting due diligence, or joining conferences and seminars.

The Business eVisa is not a work permit and does not authorise the holder to take up paid employment or render professional services for remuneration in Malaysia. It permits stays of up to 90 days within the validity period, giving business travellers ample time to conduct their B2B activities.
