Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit Malaysia?

Q: What is the MDAC and is it mandatory?

The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card is a free mandatory online pre-arrival form. You must submit it within 3 calendar days before arrival and present the confirmation at immigration.

Q: How long can I stay in Malaysia without a visa?

Up to 90 days per entry. For longer stays you must apply for the appropriate visa or pass in advance.

Q: How much does it cost?

There is no visa fee for visa-free entry, and the MDAC is also free.

Q: What documents should I carry on arrival?

A passport valid 6+ months, your MDAC confirmation, a return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and proof of sufficient funds.

Q: Can I work or study on visa-free entry?

No. Visa-free entry is for tourism, business visits, and transit only. Work or study requires the appropriate visa or pass obtained beforehand.

No visa needed. Brazilian ordinary passport holders may enter Malaysia visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. You must complete the free online Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) within 3 days before arrival. Brazil holds a visa-exemption arrangement with Malaysia, so ordinary Brazilian passport holders can visit Malaysia for tourism, business, or transit without a visa for stays of up to 90 days per entry. No visa fee applies. The only mandatory pre-arrival formality is the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC), a free online registration that every foreign visitor (with limited exceptions) must submit within 3 calendar days before arrival; you receive a confirmation/QR code to present at immigration. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay and have at least 2 blank pages. Immigration officers may ask for proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. For stays longer than 90 days or for work/study, a visa or pass must be obtained in advance through Malaysia's eVISA system or a Malaysian mission.
