🛂 Do Malaysians Need a Visa to Visit India?

Gateway Of India Mumbai

Yes — Malaysian passport holders must obtain a visa in advance to enter India for tourism, business, medical or conference purposes. As of now, there is no visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival available for Malaysians. You need to apply online for an e‑Tourist Visa (India) before departure.

The hotel is in a good location and equally accessible from NOIDA and Delhi. It's in an industrial area. The hotels AC was not heating up the room although the setting was on HEAT mode. It was winters in Delhi and it could get really cold there. So after a while hotel staff provided a standalone heater, but that did not do the job that well to manage the room temperature as an AC.

The hotel is small in scale, but the overall environment is good. It is less than 100 meters away from the nearest entrance of the shopping center. The bed set and bathroom products are very clean for India. The room facilities are also in normal condition. The front desk staff is average, and the room service staff are friendly. The restaurant is above average level, and there is another Chinese restaurant (you can satisfy your cravings, but you can’t compare it with formal Chinese cuisine). It is 45-60 minutes away from the airport without traffic jams, and the consumption is higher than that of surrounding restaurants.

I was thinking of staying for one day and deciding whether to stay longer, but I decided to move the moment I entered the room. I think my expectations were a bit high.. Nevertheless, I will share what was good. I hope it will be helpful to the next guests. ㆍ The bellboy was very friendly. ㆍ The air conditioner is noisy, but it definitely provides cool air. ㆍ The TV was good.

India New Delhi Hostel Reviews: A Looking for Bed & Breakfast on Ctrip. I was attracted by Ji Ji's review and booked for 2 nights. I contacted the landlord from New Delhi Airport. The English was surprisingly good. There was no Indian accent. When I went to the store, I found that the landlord looked like a Chinese. It was originally a Naga from northeast India. The hotel is 3 storeys high and is renovated from its own house. There are 6 rooms in total, as well as a dining room and kitchen. Check-in is simple, the landlord also gave us an upgrade to the suite. The room decoration is very unique, and there are pigeons flying from time to time on the balcony. The beds are of good quality and very clean. The bathroom is super large, separated from wet and dry, with bathrobe and hair dryer, electric water heater, remember to open in advance, come back every day, the room is clean and very comfortable. Breakfast is very good, there are many choices, with English and Indian characteristics, you can order varieties and meal times the night before. The hotel has lunch and dinner, because we are afraid to go out in the evening. Our two-day dinner was eaten at the hotel. A set meal of 60-70 yuan was enough for two people. The taste is amazing. Both are Indian specialties. The urban area of New Delhi is messy. When I come back to this hotel every day, I feel like living in a modern society. I especially enjoy chatting with the landlord and other employees in the hotel. I feel like being a guest at a friend's house. Talk about location: The hotel is next to the Humayun Temple, within walking distance, and it is convenient to make a tricycle to India Gate for 200 rubles. This area is the wealthy area of New Delhi. The surrounding environment is very good (compared to the mess in the urban area). There are several gardens. There is also a local market and train station nearby. You can walk. A to sum up: Choosing this hotel was the most successful decision for my trip to India. The room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast options were plenty, the taste was delicious, the dinner was unique, and the price was reasonable; the staff were very polite and the service was particularly good, making me a master for a while ,Highly recommended. I stayed for 3 days and met many international friends. One of the Indian couples (forgot which state they came from) had 15 stays (2 years).

✈️ Final Thoughts

Taj Mahal

As a Malaysian traveler, I found the process of applying for an India visa to be smoother than expected—especially with the e-Visa option 🧳💻. Whether you're planning a spiritual trip to Varanasi, a foodie adventure in Delhi, or a beach holiday in Goa, getting your visa sorted is the first step!

For short stays, I highly recommend the India e-Visa—it’s fast (around 3 working days), done entirely online, and lets you skip long queues at the visa center 🙌. But if you need a longer or specialized visa, like for work or study, just be sure to apply early—5 to 10 working days is a good buffer depending on your location.
