Malaysia Visit Visa from Pakistan

Pakistani citizens need a visa for Malaysia. For a holiday or family visit, you apply online for a Single Entry Visa through the Malaysian Immigration Department's eVISA portal, which the High Commission in Islamabad points tourist applicants to. An approved eVISA lets you travel, but the immigration officer at the airport still decides whether to admit you.
