Overview

Electronic visa for foreign patients seeking medical treatment at Malaysia's accredited hospitals, processed in 2-7 days with companions allowed.

The eVisa Medical is Malaysia's electronic visa for patients traveling for medical treatment at MHTC-accredited hospitals. Issued to foreign nationals with a confirmed appointment from an accredited facility, it's valid for 30 days and renewable with hospital recommendation, streamlining entry for specialized healthcare.

Processing takes 2–7 days via the online portal. Attendants may accompany the primary applicant but spouses cannot work independently. Standard eVisa fees apply. The visa is renewable, allowing extensions when medical treatment requires a longer stay.

This visa is ideal for international patients seeking planned medical procedures at MHTC-accredited hospitals, including those bringing a companion for support during their recovery in Malaysia.
