Why this verdict

Indian citizens may enter Malaysia visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism, business, social visits or transit under a visa-waiver that the Malaysian government has extended until 31 December 2026. The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) must be completed online before arrival. Work or study still requires a visa obtained in advance. Because the exemption is a time-limited policy (currently valid to 31 December 2026), re-confirm it on the Malaysian Immigration Department site before travelling for any trip after that date.
