Malaysia?
No visa on arrival to Malaysia, it’s e-visa. You need to get it before travelling.
click bait title. There is no difference than last year.
We’re still the third worst in the world, such a misleading title and most of the countries listed under Visa on arrival require an e-visa prior to travelling.
now the 3rd worst in passport index.
visa free Qatar ? visa on arrival Malaysia and mayanmaar ?? are u sure ?
Qatar just allowed us some visa on arrival option, There are some glitches and some of my friends experienced the same, so be cautious slightly. For Malaysia, eVisa is required.
Same question in my mind qatar visa free
no visa on arrival for malaysia. you can get malaysia evisa
this can be easily improved if the will is their in the goverment. Countries such as Oman and UAE can easily grant visa on arrival if diplomatically handled well
I recently traveled Qatar and yes the visa was on arrival. Not sure about Malaysia and others.
but they are saying People holding the Pakistani passport are allowed Visa-free entry in QATAR that cant be true…..
