Tourism minister says to expect good news on visas on arrival

The government is expected to announce positive news on visas on arrival for tourists after the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations in June or July, Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Mohammadin Ketapi said today.

"We are in discussion with the home minister to sort out some issues regarding the VOA, including making it easier for tourists to come into Malaysia, being more lenient and relaxed in requirements, and increasing the number of visitors annually. Last month, the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents urged the government to allow visa-free travel access to tourists from China and India to boost the country’s tourism industry.

Meanwhile, Mohammadin said Malaysia is targeting 30 million tourist arrivals and RM100 billion in tourism revenue, in conjunction with the Visit Malaysia Year 2020 campaign which will be launched next month.
