- TIME-LIMITED: Malaysia's visa waiver for Indian nationals runs until 31 December 2026. The High Commission of Malaysia in New Delhi (page last updated 21 September 2026) states: "The Malaysian government has announced the extension of visa waiver for Indian nationals travelling to Malaysia until 31 December 2026, for up to 30 days, for business, tourism, social or transit purposes", and that travellers must be able to show the documents above during immigration screening. Malaysia's Immigration Department's visa-requirement page confirms "India citizen: visa exempts until 31st December 2026". After that date a visa (eVISA via malaysiavisa.imi.gov.my) is expected to be required unless the waiver is extended again — check before booking travel beyond 2026.
