Malaysia to Chad visa requirements

Malaysian ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Chad. Apply online at the official portal evisa.td before travelling — Chad's eVisa became mandatory for foreign travellers on 11 May 2026, and Malaysia's earlier visa-free arrangement is no longer reliable. Chad introduced an official electronic visa system (evisa.td) on 11 December 2024 and made it mandatory for essentially all foreign travellers from 11 May 2026, with visas issued outside the platform invalid after 21 May 2026. Older references listed Malaysia among nationalities with a 90-day visa exemption, but that exemption was being phased out (scheduled cancellation around February 2026) and is not reflected reliably in airline/IATA systems, so it cannot be confirmed as a safe no-visa channel. Sources conflict — some list Malaysia as visa-required for Asia, others as visa-exempt. Following a conservative reading and the now-mandatory eVisa regime, a Malaysian ordinary passport holder should obtain a Chad eVisa for a short tourist stay. The short-stay tourist eVisa is typically valid up to 90 days with stays of 30-90 days depending on the option chosen, costs roughly EUR 100 / USD 107, and is processed in up to about 10 working days. A passport valid at least 6 months, a photo, return ticket, accommodation proof and proof of funds are required. All visitors, regardless of visa status, must complete mandatory police registration within 72 hours of arrival. Yellow fever vaccination is required for Chad.
