You live in Malaysia on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Malaysia but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does an e-visa for Afghanistan take?
No verified processing time is published for this route. Apply as early as your travel dates allow, and never book non-refundable travel before the e-visa is granted.
Processing times and tips
Check the current processing time on the official portal and apply well before your planned travel date. Do not buy a non-refundable ticket before the e-Visa has been approved. Print the approved document and keep a digital copy, as it may be requested at check-in and again at border control. Also read the official travel advice before confirming your trip.

Common mistakes
The costliest mistake is using an intermediary website that presents itself as official and charges extra fees: make sure you are on the Afghan authorities’ portal before entering any personal data. A typo in the passport number or travel dates can also hold up the file. Finally, do not stay beyond the 30 days allowed, and do not confuse this length of stay with the validity of the e-Visa.
