Malaysia entry requirements for French citizens
Short answerFrench citizens can visit Malaysia without a visa. Up to 90 days per visit.
- How long you can stay
- Up to 90 days per visit.
- What you need
- Passport valid for more than 6 months on arrival
- Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC), submitted online within 3 days before arrival
- Good to know
- The Embassy of Malaysia in Paris lists France as entering without a visa for 3 months. The length of stay is granted by the immigration officer at entry. East Malaysia controls its own entry: Sabah and Sarawak issue a separate entry permit (the French MFA says Sarawak grants 30 days on arrival; the German MFA says the separate permit is usually valid 90 days) — check before travelling there. Cross-checked against the French foreign ministry's travel advice (checked 2 Oct 2026).
