VISA-on-Arrival (VoA) at Malaysian entry checkpoints will now be considered for citizens of Sri Lanka living abroad, if they hold documents such as a valid permanent residence or expatriate, dependant, student or long-term visit passes from other countries, Malaysian agency reports said yesterday.

A news report published by Bernama said that this facility would also be extended to the citizens of Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.
It said: "VoA issuance can also be considered for citizens of Afghanistan if they hold diplomatic or official passports," a statement issued by the Tourism Malaysia office said.

A fee of RM330 will be charged for the VoA, which will be valid for a maximum of 14 days. The entry checkpoints the VoA will be issued include KL, Penang, Senai, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu International Airports.

The service will also be available at the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (Second Link) in Tanjung Kupang and Bangunan Sultan Iskandar in Bukit Chagar, both in Johor.
