Apply India e-Visa Online from Malaysia (2026)

Planning a trip to India from Malaysia in 2026? Malaysian citizens can conveniently apply for an India e-Visa online through the official Government of India platform. This electronic travel authorization simplifies your visa process and allows you to travel to India for tourism, business, medical or other eligible purposes without visiting an embassy or consulate.

Why Apply for an India e-Visa from Malaysia?

The India e-Visa is a fully electronic visa issued by the Government of India that allows Malaysian passport holders to enter India for specific purposes. It eliminates the need to submit visa applications in person and speeds up the administrative process. Applications are submitted and processed online and, once approved, the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is emailed directly to you.
