imigresen-online.imi.gov.myMalaysia's entry rules
There's one MDAC every visitor to Malaysia needs, no matter which passport you hold or how you travel in.
Malaysia MDAC
Digital Arrival Card
The Malaysia MDAC, short for Digital Arrival Card, is the online arrival form every visitor must file before landing, no matter which passport you carry. It isn't a visa, and it's required at land borders too, not just airports. File it inside the three days before you land and get your confirmation back by email.
What you'll need
A valid passport and your nationality, your travel dates and how you're entering Malaysia, the address where you'll be staying in Malaysia, a way for us to reach you directly, and an email address so we can send over your confirmation.
Four steps, no surprises along the way
Most services stop counting at three. We spell out the honest fourth part too.
- 01
Your travelers
Passport details for everyone on the trip. Photograph the passport data page and we handle the typing.
- 02
Your trip
When you arrive and depart, and the inbox that should receive your finished Digital Arrival Card.
- 03

Pick your review speed, see every charge listed, and pay once you agree with the total.

Specialist review & delivery
A specialist reviews every field, we file it inside your window, and confirmation lands in your inbox.
What it costs
$59.99 per traveler, and there's no separate government charge for entering Malaysia. A specialist reviews it and we submit within about a business day, with two quicker tiers waiting at checkout.
What $59.99 adds
A specialist handles the filing
- Automated checks flag anything that doesn't match Malaysia's current MDAC rules, and a human signs off before it's sent.
- Start whenever you like — we hold your form and file it the moment Malaysia's three-day window opens.
- When the official portal glitches or bounces a submission, we keep retrying until it goes through.
- We scan your passport, validate the details instantly, and put a real person on chat if anything stalls.
- A single review covers your whole travel party at once, instead of a separate attempt per traveler — even the kids.
Going it alone
imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main (free)
- Free and open any time, and we link to it from every destination page.
- Expect maintenance windows and timeouts; if it drops your session, the retry is on you.
- Tracking Malaysia's three-day filing window is on you, and it's easy to miss.
- Mistype a passport number and it is yours to notice, often only at the border.
- Every traveler needs a separate MDAC, children included, and there's no one to call if a box confuses you.

Our clock starts once we're able to submit, not at checkout. Malaysia only opens its own MDAC window inside the three days before arrival, so we queue early applications and start timing the moment that window opens — you'll see the date before paying. A faster tier moves you up our own internal queue; it won't make the authorities work through your file any quicker once it's lodged, and it's never a promise of entry.
Malaysia itself adds no fee on top, so the price above is the whole bill. We don't offer a travel eSIM for this destination, and any charge that does apply is itemized on your receipt before you pay.
Who must apply
Every visitor to Malaysia needs one, whatever passport you hold. Find yours below.
Real questions Malaysia travelers ask us
Just one: the MDAC. Every foreign national needs it, whether you arrive by air, sea or land — including at crossings like Johor Bahru or the Thai border. It isn't a visa, so a separate one, if your nationality needs it, still applies on top.
Give us your landing date and we'll take it from there.
