Many people, perhaps, thought that it is a slang term of E-entry. Let's clear all doubts and queries related to it. E-NTRI is an abbreviation for the Electronic Travel and Registration Information. According to this rule, if any Indian/Chinese national holds a certified driving license in his country, he/she can hire a car for driving in Malaysia.

The excellent move of E-NTRIs has been opened only for two countries- India & China. As per the rules & regulations of E-NTRI, the nationals of both countries have to produce a proof of nationality and their address in front of the officials to avail the E-NTRI benefits in Malaysia.

The tourism & culture minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, commented that the new visa policy of Malaysia will lend a helping hand in giving a fresh kick start to the tourism in Malaysia. Also, it will also serve as the gateway to ASEAN for Indians.

The policy of the multiple entry e-visa has been launched for now. However, the date for it to come into effect is under the shroud. Once the date is revealed officially, the Indian nationals can visit Malaysia and acquire a visa after their flight kisses the runway!

There aren't any doubts that by making amendments in the visa policies, the Malaysian government has simplified the procedure for availing the Malaysian visa for Indians. It is truly a great step to further strengthen the Indo-Malaysian relationship.
