Argentina to Malaysia visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders can visit Malaysia visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. No visa is needed, but you must complete the free Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online within 3 days before arrival. Argentina is on Malaysia's visa-exemption list. Holders of an ordinary Argentine passport do not need a visa for tourism or short social visits and are granted a Social Visit Pass of up to 90 days on arrival. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months on entry. Although no visa is required, all visa-exempt travelers must register the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online, free of charge, within three days before arrival; Singapore citizens and certain diplomatic travelers are exempt. Travelers should also be prepared to show proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. The 90-day visa-free allowance is among the most generous Malaysia offers and there have been no adverse changes to Argentina's status in 2024-2026. As always, the final admission decision rests with the immigration officer at the port of entry, so default conservatively: carry supporting documents.
