Malaysia MDAC Requirements for Air, Land and Sea Arrivals

International travellers can enter Malaysia through airports, land border crossings and seaports. The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) is an important arrival requirement for foreign visitors to whom the MDAC rules apply.

Three Ways to Arrive

Whether you are flying, crossing a land border or arriving by sea, prepare your MDAC information before you travel if MDAC requirements apply to you.

Travelling without a tourist visa does not automatically mean you are exempt from MDAC requirements.

Each New Entry Into Malaysia

Travelling to Malaysia Again? Prepare for Your Next Entry

MDAC information relates to a particular arrival in Malaysia. A previous MDAC should not be treated as covering all future journeys.

If you leave Malaysia and return for another visit, prepare for the new entry and follow the MDAC requirements applicable to that journey.

Family and Group Travel

Travelling as a Family or Group?

Our group application covers up to 10 travellers, with one combined payment.

When travellers share the same arrival and accommodation arrangements, those shared details can be entered once. Each traveller still provides their own passport details.

If someone has a different arrival date, arrival point or accommodation, their details should reflect their own plans.

Before You Travel

Your passport details match your passport.
Your intended arrival date is confirmed.
Your arrival airport, border crossing or seaport is identified.
Your accommodation details are current.
