Gulliver Travels applies for your Malaysia visa on your behalf — find your exact requirement in seconds, see real fees upfront, and let our team handle the application by WhatsApp, for every nationality living in the UAE, including Filipino, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Chinese residents.
Malaysia has three separate requirements that are often confused: the eVisa (full electronic visa), eNTRI (a simplified registration for a small group of eligible nationalities), and the MDAC (a mandatory arrival declaration everyone must file, visa or not). Your nationality decides which applies to you — and whichever it is, Gulliver Travels will apply for it on your behalf, so you don't have to navigate the Malaysian Immigration portal yourself.
Enter Malaysia for social visits without any visa. No application needed — the MDAC arrival declaration still applies.
Currently exempt from the visa requirement for social visits (valid 1 Dec 2023 – 31 Dec 2026), but must complete eNTRI online registration before travel — this is not a visa.
Most UAE residents holding these passports need a full Malaysia eVisa before travel. We handle the entire application for you.
This is the exact information the other Malaysia visa pages in Dubai skip. Find your passport nationality below.

Requirements can change without notice at the discretion of the Immigration Department of Malaysia. WhatsApp us your exact nationality and we'll confirm the current requirement before you pay anything.
For one visit — sightseeing, holidays, or visiting family. Most commonly requested option for UAE residents. If your travel plans also include a stopover, compare with our Turkey visa or Schengen visa guides.
Government fee + Gulliver service fee shown separately — no hidden charges.
Best for frequent travellers, business visits, or trips that include a side visit to Singapore or Thailand.
Exact fee depends on nationality and validity chosen.
The MDAC is a separate, free, mandatory pre-arrival declaration required of almost every foreign traveller entering Malaysia — even if you're visa-free. It replaced the old paper arrival card in January 2024.
Official portal: imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main — Immigration Department of Malaysia.
We instantly confirm whether you need eVisa, eNTRI, or nothing at all — before you send any documents.
Passport, photo, UAE visa copy, and supporting documents — send by WhatsApp, no office visit required.
We submit your Malaysia eVisa application directly with Malaysian Immigration on your behalf, after checking every document against current requirements to protect your approval chances. You never touch the government portal yourself.
Your approved eVisa is sent by email/WhatsApp. We'll also remind you to file your free MDAC 1–3 days before departure.
Government visa fees are non-refundable once submitted to Malaysian Immigration, since approval is solely at their discretion. Before we submit anything, our team reviews your documents and tells you honestly if something looks likely to cause a delay or rejection — so you're never paying to guess.
It depends on your passport nationality, not your UAE residence status. UAE nationals can enter visa-free for social visits. Residents holding other passports generally need either the Malaysia eVisa or eNTRI registration before travel, depending on nationality.
The eVisa is a full electronic visa required for most eligible nationalities. eNTRI is a simplified online registration currently available to a smaller group of nationalities, including Indian passport holders, for shorter stays. Neither replaces the mandatory MDAC arrival declaration.
Gulliver Travels applies for your Malaysia visa on your behalf. Once you send us your documents on WhatsApp, our team completes and submits the eVisa or eNTRI application directly with the Immigration Department of Malaysia — you don't need to log into the government portal or fill anything in yourself.
The MDAC is a free, separate pre-arrival declaration required of almost all foreign travellers, filed online within 3 days before arrival. It does not replace your eVisa or eNTRI — travellers who need a visa must complete both.
Cost depends on visa type and nationality. We show the government eVisa fee and our service fee separately so you know exactly what you're paying for. WhatsApp us your nationality for an exact quote.
Standard eVisa processing typically takes 2–5 working days from submission. We recommend applying at least 2 weeks before travel, especially during peak seasons.
Government visa fees are non-refundable once submitted, as the approval decision rests solely with Malaysian Immigration. We review your documents honestly before submission to protect your approval chances.
Not always mandatory, but strongly recommended to cover medical emergencies for the full duration of your stay. Ask our team to arrange this alongside your visa.
Yes. Every traveller, including infants and children, needs their own valid visa or eNTRI registration where applicable, plus their own individual MDAC.
Yes — every destination sets its own rules independent of your UAE residence status. Compare with our Saudi Arabia visa, UK tourist visa, and Montenegro visa guides, or check your own UAE visa status if you're assisting a visiting family member.
