How to Get a Visit Visa for Malaysia From Chennai, India

Visit Malaysia with a single entry visitor visa, granted to tourists wishing to visit Malaysia for up to three months' time. While some Indians are eligible for multiple-entry visas as visitors, most will apply for this single-entry visa, which does not require a reference or a letter of invitation. If you are an American passing through Chennai, do not apply for the visa ahead of time. Your passport will be stamped with a "social visit pass" upon passing through immigration in Malaysia.
