Apply for Malaysia eVisa NowUnderstanding MDAC vs Malaysia eVisa
Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC)
- Required for ALL foreign travelers entering Malaysia
- Pre-arrival registration form with travel details
- Does NOT grant entry permission (not a visa)
- Required even if you have visa-free entry
- Quick processing: typically 24-48 hours
- Must be completed 3 days before travel
Malaysia eVisa
- Required only for nationals of specific countries
- Official permission to enter Malaysia
- Grants legal authorization for entry
- Different visa types for different purposes
- Longer processing: 5-15 business days
- Apply well in advance of travel (1-2 months)
Important: MDAC and eVisa Are Separate Requirements
If you require a visa to enter Malaysia, you need BOTH a valid Malaysia eVisa (or regular visa) AND a completed Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC). The MDAC does not replace visa requirements, and a visa does not replace the MDAC requirement. They serve different purposes in the Malaysian immigration process.
Even travelers from visa-free countries still need to complete the MDAC before arrival. Check your nationality's visa requirements with the Malaysian Immigration Department or nearest Malaysian embassy, then ensure you also complete your MDAC application before travel.
