Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Malaysia Digital Arrival Card
When should I submit my MDAC?
Submit within 3 days before your scheduled arrival. While same-day applications are possible, we recommend applying in advance to avoid last-minute stress.
Can I use one MDAC for my family or group?
No. Each traveler, including children, must submit an individual MDAC. However, you can manage multiple applications via the same account for convenience.
What if I made a mistake in my MDAC?
You cannot edit or delete a submitted MDAC. If an error occurs, you'll need to submit a new application with the correct information. That's why it's crucial to double-check all details before submission.
Do I need to print my MDAC confirmation?
No, you don't need to print it. Your MDAC is electronically linked to your passport, and immigration officers can access it digitally. However, having a digital copy on your phone or a printed copy is recommended as a backup.
Is my personal data secure?
Absolutely. Your information is used strictly to process your MDAC application and is handled in accordance with Malaysian data protection laws. Your data is never sold, shared, or repurposed for other uses.
How long does it take to receive my MDAC confirmation?
Your confirmation is sent to your email after submission. Submit within 3 days before your scheduled arrival, and leave enough time before your flight to correct any issue.
