Fees & processing

From official-portal extracts (captured ):
- •The fact box shows MYR 0, but this is a placeholder: the eVisa is not free and the fee depends on nationality, so check the official portal for the amount that applies to you.
- •Nationalities not listed in Malaysia's official visa fee table pay RM 20.00; Nepal is not among the listed nationalities. [2]
How to apply

- Submit the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online before arrival.
- Carry your approved eVisa letter and supporting documents to present at immigration.

Before you fly
- •Visa-free stays of less than one month apply only to ASEAN nationals except Myanmar, so Nepalese travellers need a visa before arrival. [1]
- •Travellers who do not leave the airport and continue to their next destination on the same flight do not need a transit visa. [3]

Watch out for
If you arrive from a country at risk of yellow fever infection, you must present a yellow fever vaccination certificate on arrival; the Ministry of Health Malaysia publishes the list of at-risk countries. [1]
Malaysia charges RM 20.00 for nationalities its official fee table does not list, so do not treat the MYR 0 shown in the fact box as a free visa. [2]
