Not a visa — required in addition to your Malaysia visa or eVisa
Overview
The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) is a mandatory digital immigration form required for all foreign nationals entering Malaysia. It replaces the old paper arrival card and must be completed online before boarding your flight to Malaysia.
It is not a visa. All travelers — including those with a Malaysia eVisa, regular visa, or visa-free entry — must complete this form separately before arrival.
Important notice
The MDAC is mandatory for all foreign nationals arriving in Malaysia, regardless of nationality or visa type. Failure to complete it before departure may result in boarding denial.
