  • Important Visa Update for Malaysian Travellers

    TS.tours is pleased to announce a significant development for Malaysians. In accordance with a bilateral agreement between Malaysia and Russia, visa requirements for Malaysian citizens travelling to Russia are being streamlined. This positive development reflects the strengthening ties between the two countries. Accordingly, we wish to outline the implications of this change and the assistance we are able to provide.

    Currently, Malaysian citizens are eligible to apply for a unified electronic visa, which permits a single entry stay of up to 30 days. This procedure does not require an invitation letter and is conducted entirely online, with a decision generally issued within approximately four days. Nevertheless, a more substantial change is forthcoming. Negotiations concerning a full mutual visa-free regime are at an advanced stage, and both parties intend to conclude the agreement by the end of 2026. Upon conclusion, Malaysian citizens will be permitted to visit Russia for short trips without any visa formalities whatsoever.

    We regard this as an exceptional opportunity for our Malaysian friends, colleagues and partners. Not only does it eliminate a significant administrative obstacle, but it also facilitates enhanced cultural exchange and business cooperation. Accordingly, TS.tours is prepared to assist you at every stage of your journey. Whether you require advice regarding the current e-visa procedure, guidance on travel arrangements or support with itinerary planning, our team is available to assist. Furthermore, we invite you to discover the wonders of Russia, from the historic streets of Moscow and Saint Petersburg to the unique natural beauty of Lake Baikal and Murmansk. We look forward to welcoming you!
