iVisa deals with bureaucracy so that Malaysians don't have to. However, some pieces of information will be necessary to help us get started. The requirements are easy to get, and chances are you have everything you need. Please revise each item and then gather all of them before applying:

• Valid passport – getting a passport should not be difficult for you, and if you already have one, make sure that it is still valid, in other words, at least with 6 months of validity. You will waste time and money because an expired passport will lead to a rejected application.
