Malaysia Visa:

Like most countries, it is now simpler for people of eligible countries to visit Malaysia all thanks to the Malaysia eVisa. Now, all a traveller needs is a stable Internet connection since the whole application procedure is done online.

The prerequisites for applying for a Malaysian visa online are a current passport from one of the eligible countries and a credit or debit card to cover the application cost. The majority of applications are accepted and processed swiftly often within a business day.

Presenting a printed A4 copy of their approved eVisa together with their passport, evidence of adequate finances, return airline ticket, and lodging documentation, allows visitors to enter Malaysia via any port of entry. The same passport must be used for both the online application and the trip to Malaysia.

Visa Government fee:

The government has given a fee structure for visas for all countries. The fee depends upon the type of visa and it's the duration of the Malaysia visa. Visa fee is divided into various types depending upon the case viz; applicant country, processing fee and rush/super rush fee. During the online registration process, at the end of the process, the total fee shall be displayed.

However, the following countries have a fee structure for the visa which is listed alongside:

If you are applying for a nonimmigrant visa, you will have to pay visa processing fees which include the visa service fee. The fees vary as per the different requirements of the traveler/applicant. However, whether you are traveling for business purposes or tourism, every applicant is required to pay the processing fee.

What is a visa service fee?

The visa service fee is paid to the travel agent or third party you have hired to monitor your visa application process. This fee is mandatorily paid along with the visa costs. It is worth noting that the visa costs are determined according to a range of factors, which include the following:

Visa Category

Before starting to fill out your visa application, you will see a few blank spaces where you will be asked to provide some crucial details about your visa choice. The first one is the visa category. If you are applying for an online visa, this category would vary from country to country as some offer electronic visas only for tourism and business purposes whereas some offer a broad array of visa options, including medical treatment and medical attendant e-visas, family visit e-visa, and Umrah or pilgrimage e-visa. Hence, you should carefully select your required visa category.

Entry Type

This is another aspect of your e-visa application that would determine the eventual visa and visa service costs. Just like different categories of visas, there are different types of entries, which also vary from country to country. So, ideally, you should have clarity over this aspect of a visa before attempting to apply for a visa online. Some countries offer just a single-entry e-visa while some offer single and multiple entries travel permits. On the other hand, some offer different categories of multiple entries, such as the visa may be valid for 3 to 6 months or up to 1 to 5 years. With a multiple-entry e-visa, travelers can enter and exit the country multiple times but on the condition that they would not exceed the government-authorized stay limit.

Application Type

This is another feature that helps the company determine the type of application a traveler wants to submit. There will be two options- entry and visa extension. It is worth noting that some countries allow an extension in the existing visa and some do not. This aspect will be determined by the next option.

Applicant Country

This is the most important part of your visa fee calculation. That’s because the visa fee is different for each continent and country. So, the travel agency you are applying through will need to calculate the visa depending on the applicant’s nationality. It is also worth pointing out that once you select the nationality you will be able to determine whether you can apply for a visa extension and which categories of visa you are eligible to apply for.

How to Pay the e-Visa Fees?

Currently, you can select between three different options.

• Standard- the visa costs will be lower and the visa will be issued within a week.
• Rush- the visa cost will be slightly higher than the standard visa and it will be issued within 3 business days.
• Super Rush- the visa cost will be higher than the above two categories and it will be issued on an urgent basis, usually within 24 to 48 hours.

The visa fees are calculated after you select the desired processing time. The sooner you require your application to be processed, the higher will be the amount. The final amount will be inclusive of the visa processing and service fees.
