## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Listed ordinary passports: Malaysia social-visit eVisa** (eVisa)
  For the listed ordinary passport nationalities, Malaysia's current MYVISA framework requires a pre-travel eVisa for a social visit, rather than treating the online application as an ETA or ordinary visa-free entry.
  - MYVISA identifies eVisa as an electronic visa, not an ETA, and says the single-entry social-visit eVisa is compulsory for the specified nationalities. It is only for social visits such as tourism, family visits, or short business trips.
  - The ordinary eVisa single-entry route must be obtained before travel. MYVISA says a single-entry eVisa permits one journey within six months of issue, subject to passport validity; neither eVisa nor MDAC guarantees entry.
  - Afghan ordinary passport holders must first obtain VDR approval before applying for eVisa. The source's diplomatic and official passport exception is not represented by this ordinary-passport policy.
  - For the specifically named African nationalities in MYVISA's air-only list, entry with eVisa is limited to air entry points. This does not create a general air-only rule for every nationality in this policy.
  - MDAC remains a separate arrival declaration. Work, study, residence, media, professional/temporary employment, medical treatment and other VDR purposes follow separate advance procedures and are not granted by this social-visit eVisa.
