More visa-on-arrival facilities for tourists from China and India

Petaling Jaya: In an effort to boost tourist arrivals during Visit Malaysia Year 2020, the government is adding more visa-on-arrival (VOA) facilities for tourists from China and India.

The Home Ministry said that these facilities would be expanded at the arrival gates of six main airports around the country, including Langkawi International Airport, Miri International Airport and the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah International Airport.

Other locations where such facilities will be expanded include the Bukit Kayu Hitam Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security (ICQS) Complex in Kedah, the Sungai Tujoh ICQS in Sarawak and the Labuan Ferry Terminal.

The ministry noted that VOA access is only given to tourists from China and India who enter Malaysia via Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.

"This will be based on the condition that they pass the Immigration security check and are not a threat to the nation," it said in a statement on Friday (July 19).

To stimulate the arrival of visitors and increase their expenditure while visiting Malaysia, the ministry added that the VOA facilities have been improved.
