Kuala Lumpur’s recent visa-free entry policy for Indian nationals has sparked a dramatic 223% increase in tourist arrivals, reaching over 900,000 Indian visitors in 2024. This growth has had a significant positive impact on Malaysia’s economy, driving demand in key sectors like hospitality, retail, and transportation. The visa exemption, valid until 2026, aims to position Malaysia as a premier destination for international tourists. It is expected to continue fostering job creation and regional tourism development, making it a key player in Southeast Asia’s tourism industry.
