Tourists from China and India can only reapply to enter the country via the Electronic Travel Registration and Information visa 45 days after leaving Malaysia, says the Home Ministry.
“Entering the country via eNTRI is an improvement of the Visa on Arrival mechanism, where the main objective is to strengthen the country’s tourism industry, ” the ministry said, adding that it is also aware of a Federal Gazette dated Dec 23 on the visa-free requirement, which has gone viral on social media recently as well as some parties linking the requirement with tourists from China who overstay.
Throughout 2020, they will be able to enter the country for up to 15 days by using eNTRI – either individually or through travel agencies in their respective countries.Upon arrival, they must produce proof such as having sufficient cash for expenses, credit cards or bank cards, and produce their travel itinerary in Malaysia. They should also have a ticket out of Malaysia.
In addition, the 15-day period cannot be extended, and these tourists cannot apply for any other passes under the Immigration Regulations 1963.
