The paper-based arrival card is replaced by an online pre-approval
form called a Malaysia Digital Arrival Card MDAC. To improve border
security, Malaysia has implemented a Visa Liberalization Plan that
includes this mandatory entry registration form.
The MDAC submission is free of charge. The free service is intended to
improve your trip and make it easier for you to enter Malaysia.
MDAC is merely a card of arrival. It is not a visa. Websites that
claim that MDAC is a visa or that you must pay to complete it are
scams.
What is the Validity of The MDAC?
The MDAC is valid in Malaysia for a maximum of 30 days. It must be
submitted within three days before you arrive in the country.
What are the Requirements for the MDAC?
Make sure you meet the
Malaysia visa documents requirements
before completing the MDAC. The documents required are,
-
A
itinerary, that includes information on your flights and lodging.
-
Proof that you have enough money to pay expenses while visiting.
-
A confirmed ticket for return or further travel to prove that you
intend to depart Malaysia.
-
Your personal information, including your name, country, and phone
number.
-
A passport that is currently valid. It must be valid for at least
six months after your intended stay.
-
Complete the Malaysia digital arrival card form online at the MDAC
Portal within three days before your arrival.
- A declaration of health.
The MDAC must still be completed by visitors who are qualified
for a
Malaysia visa on arrival in order to satisfy pre-entry requirements and speed up the
immigration procedure.
