→ Russia visa for Malaysian citizens

Malaysia passport holders can enjoy a smooth entry into Russia with an e-visa, allowing for a maximum stay of 16 days. With four distinct visa types available, including tourist and business options, securing your travel document is straightforward, costing approximately $40 USD. When planning your journey, consider the significant time zone difference, with Moscow being 5 hours behind Kuala Lumpur, and remember that Russian is the official language, though English is increasingly spoken in tourist hubs.
