PUTRAJAYA: The online system
for Chinese and Indian tourists to apply for a 15-day visa exemption is set to
resume on Tuesday after being suspended since this Jan 1.
It will help facilitate arrivals from both
countries.
The Electronic Travel Registration and Information
(eNTRI) was suspended after media reports about weaknesses in the system.
The Home Ministry confirmed that the government
decided to extend the 15-day visa exemption from the two countries until Dec
31.
In a statement yesterday, the ministry said the
eNTRI facility to exempt Chinese and Indian tourists from visa requirements for
a 15-day period was first introduced on March 1, 2016 for Chinese tourists.
It was then widened to include Indian tourists on
April 1, 2017.
In addition, the ministry also implemented an
online visa application (eVISA) from March 1, 2016 for applications from
tourists who wished to visit Malaysia for a maximum period of 30 days.
“Following reports of weaknesses involving eNTRI,
the government has suspended its implementation to enable upgrading and
improvement be made to the system. The suspension also allows checks on the
security aspect of the facility be looked into.
The suspension of the system raised concerns among
players in the tourism industry of a drop in tourist arrivals from China.
The ministry said it would ensure visa applications
via eNTRI as well as eVISA would be without any hitch to facilitate the entry
of tourists, without compromising the country’s security.
According to Tourism Malaysia figures, the top five
countries in terms of tourist arrivals to Malaysia from January to September
last year were Singapore (7.83 million), Indonesia (2.44 million), China (2.28
million), Thailand (1.43 million) and Brunei (1.06 million).
