E-visa facilities to also boost tourist numbers from China


PUTRAJAYA: In an effort to encourage more tourists from China to visit Malaysia, the Government will extend the free-visa facility to those travelling in groups of at least two, instead of a larger party, says Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Apart from the move, which will be implemented as soon as possible, Malaysia will also start e-visa facilities for Chinese tourists beginning January.
