Overview
Indian professionals traveling to Malaysia for business purposes such as attending meetings, trade fairs, company training, or investment discussions must apply for a Malaysia Business Visa.
Malaysia offers both eVisa and eNTRI (Electronic Travel Registration & Information) systems for Indian citizens, allowing short-term business travel without the need to visit the Embassy. The visa typically allows a 30-day stay and can be issued as single or multiple entry, depending on the applicant’s purpose and invitation.
Malaysia’s strong industrial base, regional trade networks, and investor-friendly policies make it a leading business hub in Southeast Asia.
