Malaysia offers visa-free entry to Vanuatu citizens for short stays. As with Singapore, the main step is the online Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC), which should be completed before you travel.

Together with Singapore and Hong Kong, Malaysia rounds out a set of genuinely useful, friction-light Asian destinations on the Vanuatu passport.

Beyond the visa-free tourist window, Malaysia offers various passes for longer stays, including options popular with retirees and remote workers. For short trips, complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) up to three days before arrival and keep proof of onward travel. Sabah and Sarawak apply their own entry stamps, so retain your documents when travelling between regions.
