When is the best time to travel to Malaysia?

Malaysia is characterized by consistent weather all year round. However, the best period to visit this country is in December, February, and March — the most favorable time to avoid the heavier rainy season and the great peak of the tourist season around Christmas, New Year’s, and Chinese New Year.

What documents are required to apply for a visa to Malaysia for treatment?

Visas for travel to Malaysia require a number of documents. The necessary papers can be submitted 90 days before the planned departure. List of documents includes:

  • Original passport
  • 2 photocopies of the applicant’s passport
  • 2 photocopies of the visa application form (Form IMM.47)

What Hotel Services Are Provided Here?

In Malaysia, there are hotels of different price ranges and service levels. Most tourists choose 4 and 5-star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

Do I need a visa?

Patients from the USA and Europe do not need a visa to travel to Malaysia but their stay is limited — 90 days. If your treatment requires more time, contact the Malaysian embassy in your native country to arrange long-stay visa requirements.
