Obtaining visa online

Another story from Malaysia, but this time, something positive.

"Foreigners in any part of the world can obtain a visa to enter Malaysia from the comfort of their homes from February 2006. All they have to do is go online to submit an application and wait 24 hours for an answer."

Besides the immigration department, this process also involves tour agencies.

A great chance to capture data and channel resources. Since this process allows instant monitoring of inflow of people to Malaysia the country can identify successful strategies in attracting foreigners, and subsequently finetune and strengthen its promotional activities.
