Malaysia does not issue landing visa. Holders of Chinese diplomatic passport and passport for public affairs can stay visa-free for up to 30 days in Malaysia. Chinese citizens who hold ordinary passports should apply for a visa in advance. Malaysia's visas have the following types:

1. Ordinary Visa: The visa is issued to foreign citizens who travel to Malaysia for leisure, visiting friends and business. It's valid for three months and allows its holders to stay for 30 days. The validity period of Ordinary Visa cannot be extended, but if a holder of the visa cannot return to his/her country on time due to health or flight problems, he/she can apply to the immigration authorities for the extension of the validity period of the visa with the certificate issued by relevant hospitals and airlines.

2. Work Visa, Student Visa: For an applicant to obtain the permission to work or study in Malaysia, the company or school in Malaysia must submit the application to the immigration authorities. After approving the application, the immigration authorities inform the embassy or consulate in the city of the applicant, which then issues the visa to the applicant. After arriving in Malaysia, the applicant contacts the immigration authorities and obtains a long-term visa.

3. Visa for visiting relatives: Relatives in Malaysia can first apply for the visa to the immigration authorities. Documents required include the certificate of the applicant's relationship with the relative, and the certificates of the relative's employment and income.
