Visa Free

Egyptian citizens can enter Malaysia visa-free for up to 90 days but must complete the mandatory Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online before arrival via windowmalaysia.my.

Guide last updated October 18, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • Completed Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC), submitted online within 3 days before arrival
  • Return or onward flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation for the length of stay
  • Proof of sufficient funds, which may be checked by immigration officers on arrival
  • No visa application, photo, or biometrics are required for the visa-free entry itself
  • Travel health insurance is recommended though not mandatory

Visa types

  • No visa category applies for tourism or short business visits under the visa-free arrangement
  • Travelers wishing to work, study, or stay longer than 90 days must apply in advance for the relevant pass through the Malaysian Immigration Department or an eVisa if applicable to their situation
  • Business visitors attending meetings or conferences can use the same visa-free entry, provided they are not receiving local payment for the trip

Entry conditions

  • Egyptian citizens may stay visa-free for up to 90 days per entry
  • Paid employment is strictly prohibited during this stay
  • Before arrival, submit the MDAC online at the official windowmalaysia.my portal (or the Immigration Department's imigresen-online system) - this replaced the old paper arrival card and is required of all visitors regardless of visa status
  • At the border, present your passport, MDAC confirmation, and be ready to show your return ticket and proof of funds if asked
  • Extensions beyond 90 days for visa-free entrants are not routinely granted; a new entry after leaving the country is usually required instead

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for the 90-day visa-free entry
  • The MDAC online submission is free of charge
  • MDAC approval is typically instant to a few hours after submission
  • No service fee applies since there is no third-party agency involved in the process
  • Budget only for your flight, accommodation, and any applicable Malaysian departure tax included in airline tickets

Tips for Egypt travelers

  • Submit your MDAC no earlier than 3 days before your flight, as submissions outside this window are not accepted
  • Double-check your MDAC confirmation email and keep it accessible on your phone for the immigration checkpoint
  • Embassy of Malaysia services (for anything beyond tourist entry) can be checked at kln.gov.my if you need a long-stay pass
  • If connecting through Kuala Lumpur to another country, confirm whether you need to clear immigration for your layover
  • For stays beyond 90 days, apply for the correct pass in advance rather than attempting to extend a visa-free stay
