Applying for MDAC When Traveling by Air, Land or Sea
The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card requirement generally applies to foreign visitors who are subject to MDAC requirements, whether they enter Malaysia by air, land, or sea.
Travelers arriving through airports, land border crossings, or seaports should prepare the relevant travel information for their method of entry.
Applicable exemptions may depend on nationality, travel documents, or immigration status.
Is MDAC the Same as a Malaysia Visa?
No. The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card is an electronic arrival declaration and is not a visa.
Travelers who require a visa for Malaysia must meet the applicable visa requirements separately.
Completing an MDAC does not guarantee permission to enter Malaysia. Entry remains subject to the relevant immigration procedures.
