Malaysia medical visa: rules, documents and fees by passport
From Malaysia's official government pages, checked 10 Sep 2026. We checked 20 passports: 11 have a verified route, of which 7 need no visa for a short stay; for 9 we could not confirm the rule from an official source. Where a fee is shown it is the government's own figure in the currency it publishes.
What holds for every passport
- •If you need the medical eVISA, the treatment must be at a hospital that is a member of the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC).
- •Every visitor must show an accommodation booking or a home address for the whole stay.
Route, fee and companions by passport
The route a patient uses for treatment, the government fee as the source states it (“Free” where the source publishes no charge), how many people can travel on companion visas, and whether the application is online. Where a fee is “not published”, the reason follows.
Why no government fee is shown: MYVISA charges a visa fee based on nationality, a RM105.00 processing charge and a payment charge that depends on the card or wallet used, so there is no single fee to show.
