With world-class healthcare infrastructure, internationally accredited hospitals, and affordable treatment costs, Malaysia has quickly become one of the top choices for Bangladeshi patients seeking quality medical treatment abroad. However, navigating the visa application process can often feel daunting if you don’t know the exact rules.
If you or a family member are planning to travel to Malaysia for medical treatment, you don’t need to spend extra money or time on third-party agencies. You can easily complete the entire process on your own.
Here is your comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap to preparing your documents, applying online, and obtaining your visa smoothly.
Before starting your application, gather and organize the following essential documents in a folder:
Original Passport (& Previous Passports): Must have at least 6 months of validity remaining from your travel date and a minimum of 2 blank pages. Include all expired or previous passports.
Visa Application Form: Completed and signed Malaysia eVISA or paper visa application form.
Passport Photographs: Two recent color passport-sized photos (35mm x 50mm) taken against a plain white background, clearly displaying your face and ears.
Hospital Invitation / Appointment Letter: An official letter issued by an accredited hospital in Malaysia detailing your name, passport number, appointment date, and treatment plan.
MHTC Support Letter (If Applicable): Obtaining a support letter from the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) can significantly expedite the processing time.
Local Doctor’s Referral & Medical Reports: A formal referral letter, recent diagnostic test results, and prescriptions from your attending doctor in Bangladesh.
Proof of Financial Capability:
Updated 6-month bank statement showing a healthy, consistent balance (a minimum balance of BDT 300,000 to 400,000 or equivalent is recommended).
Bank Solvency Certificate.
Proof of Profession:
Employees: No-Objection Certificate (NOC) on official company letterhead, visiting card, and office ID card copy.
Business Owners: Updated Trade License copy and official company pad.
Proof of Residence & Identity: Photocopy of your National ID (NID) card or Birth Certificate.
Flight & Accommodation Details: Confirmed round-trip flight bookings and proof of accommodation (hotel or hospital stay details) in Malaysia.
Medical Attendant (If Accompanied): Patients can be accompanied by up to two medical attendants. Attendants must apply separately and provide proof of relationship (e.g., Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, or Family Relationship Certificate).
Malaysia Medical Visas are primarily applied for online via the official eVISA portal or submitted through authorized One-Stop Centers (OSC).
Processing Time: Standard eVISA applications are typically processed within 3 to 7 working days. For critical emergency treatments, expedited processing can be requested.
Visa Fee: Fees vary depending on the category and processing channel used.
Clear Appointment Details: Ensure the invitation letter from the Malaysian hospital explicitly outlines your scheduled arrival date and the expected duration of treatment.
Maintain Healthy Financial Records: Avoid sudden, large cash deposits right before obtaining your bank statement. Visa officers prefer seeing consistent transaction history over the last 6 months.
Translate Non-English Documents: Any local document issued in Bengali (such as Trade Licenses or Marriage Certificates) must be officially translated into English and notarized.
