Visa and entry

Entry rules for Indian passport holders change, including visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-visa schemes, so confirm the current rules on the official government or embassy website for Malaysia before booking flights. Most countries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date. We check the current requirements when we prepare your quote; we cannot guarantee visa approval.

The currency is the Malaysian ringgit (MYR). Not customary; many restaurants add a service charge.

Pack a light jacket or sweater for cool evenings, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and swimwear, comfortable walking shoes and a universal travel adapter.

Phone and internet

Indian mobile operators sell international roaming packs, or you can buy a local SIM or eSIM on arrival with your passport. Check that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before you travel.
