The Malaysian Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, announced a groundbreaking initiative to foster tourism and enhance cultural exchanges. Effective December 1, Malaysia will welcome Indian and Chinese citizens with a visa-free entry privilege for stays of up to 30 days. This move aims to invigorate the tourism sector and strengthen ties between nations.
Previously, Chinese and Indian nationals required visas for entry. The decision follows a strategic approach to revitalize the economy and echoes neighboring Thailand’s successful measures. Malaysia, known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes, eagerly anticipates increased tourist influx.
This initiative aligns with Malaysia’s commitment to fostering global connections and fostering a welcoming environment for visitors. Details regarding the duration of this exemption will be communicated shortly.
