Home Ministry: E-registration for China, India tourists isn't for those who overstay


PETALING JAYA: Tourists from China and India can only reapply to enter Malaysia via the visa-free Electronic Travel Registration and Information (eNTRI) system 45 days after they leave the country, says the Home Ministry.

In a statement, the ministry said the 45-day rule was considered a cooling-off period aimed at preventing any abuse of the visa-free requirement.
