TrainsDo Russians need a visa for Langkawi in 2026?

No, for a trip to Langkawi in 2026, Russians do not need a visa if the purpose of the visit is tourism and the stay does not exceed 30 days. Langkawi is part of Malaysia, which has a visa-free regime for Russian citizens.
However, there is an important formal requirement: before entry, you must fill out the electronic arrival card MDAC (Malaysia Digital Arrival Card). This can be done online on the official website no earlier than 3 days before the date of entry into the country. Filling it out is simple and free. You will need to show the printed or saved MDAC receipt when passing through passport control.
What to check before the trip:
- The validity of the international passport must be at least 6 months at the time of entry.
- Have return tickets or tickets to a third country with you.
- Confirmation of hotel booking or invitation (may be asked).
- Filled out MDAC card.
If you plan to stay in Malaysia for more than 30 days, or the purpose of the trip is different (work, study), then a visa must be obtained in advance at the embassy. For a standard tourist vacation on the beaches of Langkawi, no additional permits are required.
