Do Nepal citizens need a visa to visit Malaysia?

Yes — Nepal passport holders need a eVisa for Malaysia, valid for up to 30 days per stay. Apply before booking a non-refundable flight; Yatra issues PNR-backed dummy tickets (NPR 999) accepted by most embassies as proof of onward travel.

How long does the Malaysia eVisa take to process?

Processing varies by application type and embassy load. E-visas typically arrive within 24–72 hours; sticker visas can take 5–15 working days. Always apply at least 4–6 weeks before travel for stickered visas, 1 week for e-visas.

What's the passport validity requirement for Malaysia?

Malaysia requires at least 6 months of passport validity remaining beyond your intended departure date. Renew well in advance — visa applications are routinely rejected for short-validity passports.

Can Yatra help with my Malaysia visa application?

Yes — Yatra's visa concierge handles document checklist preparation, appointment booking at the Malaysia embassy/VFS centre, pre-submission review, and dummy tickets where embassies require proof of onward travel. Service fee is disclosed up front.

What happens if my Malaysia visa is rejected?

Embassies rarely refund the application fee on rejection. Yatra waives our service fee on the second attempt — you pay only the embassy's new application fee. Most rejections trace back to documentation gaps that get resolved on the second submission.

Cost breakdown — what you actually pay

Malaysia business visa cost for Nepali applicants comes from three sources, billed separately:

Embassy / government fee — flat fee for the eVisa class, paid at submission. Non-refundable on rejection.
VFS / service-centre charge — if the embassy outsources collection, VFS charges a per-application processing fee.
Concierge / agent fee — optional. Yatra's visa concierge fee is disclosed up front; agents charge variable rates.

All fees are disclosed in NPR at the VFS centre or embassy cashier; some embassies require demand drafts in USD or in destination currency. Confirm the current bracket on the embassy portal — fees change once or twice a year.

Mandatory mdac

Malaysia requires every traveller to complete a MDAC in addition to the eVisa. Submit it via the official portal before arrival. Skip this step and you can be denied entry at the border even with a valid visa.

Documents you'll typically need

Passport — 6 months of validity remaining beyond the intended departure date, with at least 2 blank pages
Recent passport-size photos meeting the destination's specifications (most embassies require white background, 35×45mm)
Completed visa application form (online or in-person depending on type)
Confirmed flight booking showing entry + onward/exit travel — Yatra issues a PNR-backed dummy ticket for NPR 999 if you want to apply before paying for flights
Hotel booking confirmation covering the full stay duration
Recent bank statements (3-6 months) showing sufficient funds for the trip
Employer or school letter confirming your role + leave approval
Travel insurance covering medical + repatriation

Document specifics vary by eVisa type and Malaysia's mission. Yatra concierge reviews the file before submission so common rejection reasons (insufficient bank balance, missing employer letter, photo not meeting spec) get fixed before they cost you the application fee.

How to apply

Confirm the visa type — use Yatra's visa eligibility checker or the destination embassy's site
Gather documents per the list above + any destination-specific extras (cover letter, sponsor letter, NOC for minors, etc.)
Submit the application — online for eVisa, or in person at the Malaysia embassy/VFS centre depending on type
Pay the visa fee in the embassy's accepted payment method (most accept card; some require cash demand draft)
Track and collect — most e-visas arrive by email; sticker visas require passport return either by VFS courier or in-person collection
