Malaysia is a country in Southeast Asia that has become a popular destination for international tourists due to its well-developed tourism industry and the welcoming nature of its people. Notable attractions in Malaysia include the historic city of Malacca, the vibrant Penang, the serene Langkawi Island, and various modern entertainment spots that are popular with visitors. Additionally, Malaysia's steady economic growth has made it an attractive place for both local and international investors, which means that Malaysian visas are sought after not just by tourists but also by business professionals. In recent years, Malaysia has relaxed its visa policies, offering visa exemptions to citizens from over 150 countries and introducing an online platform for visa applications for those looking to travel, work, or study on a short-term basis. Therefore, before traveling to Malaysia, it's important for visitors to do their research and think about the purpose and length of their stay to determine if they need a visa.
