About the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card
The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) is an electronic arrival information form used by travellers entering Malaysia. It collects personal, passport and travel information for arrival purposes.
Our website focuses on Malaysia Digital Arrival Card application assistance, with information presented clearly to help travellers prepare their details.
Who Should Check MDAC Requirements?
MDAC requirements can depend on a traveller’s circumstances and the rules in effect at the time of travel. It is important to establish whether the requirement applies to your particular journey, and to confirm the current requirements before making travel arrangements.
Travellers Planning a Visit
Travellers visiting Malaysia for tourism, business, study, employment or other purposes should confirm which arrival formalities apply to their circumstances.
Travellers With Special Travel Arrangements
Travellers using special travel documents, border arrangements, transit itineraries or other entry arrangements should check the requirements applicable to their situation.
Nationality, travel document type and journey circumstances may affect the applicable requirements. Do not assume that one rule applies to every traveller.
