It is required by government to make immigration process faster and improve security. You need to enter details like passport number, travel dates, and address in Malaysia. If you skip it, you may face delays during travel. Once you submit the Malaysia Arrival Card, it is valid for only one entry into the country. Purpose of MDAC is to make border checks digital, reduce waiting time and help authorities manage traveller information more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Malaysia_arrival_card_for_Indians_required\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Is Malaysia arrival card for Indians required <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Malaysia digital arrival card is required for Indians. Even if you have visa-free entry for up to 30 days, you still need to submit this form before you travel. Many travellers assume that visa exemption means no other formalities are required, but that is not true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visa allows you to enter country, while arrival card is for pre-arrival registration. Both are different and arrival card is mandatory. If you do not submit it, you may face delays or  denial at Malaysian border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_apply_for_arrival_card_Malaysia\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>When to apply for arrival card Malaysia<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You must submit the MDAC form within 3 days before you arrive in Malaysia. Submit the form only within 3 days of arrival. You should fill the form at least 24 hours before your flight to avoid last minute issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Malaysia_arrival_card_requirements\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Malaysia arrival card requirements<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are the Malaysia arrival card requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Valid passport with at least 6 months&#8217; validity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel details, including flight number, arrival details and entry point<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Address of your accommodation in Malaysia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Valid email address to receive confirmation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No physical document is required, you just need to show your passport at immigration, where they can verify your arrival card electronically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_to_apply_for_Malaysia_arrival_card_online\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Steps to apply for Malaysia arrival card online<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are the steps to apply for Malaysia arrival card online<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Visit the official <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/imigresen-online.imi.gov.my\/mdac\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/imigresen-online.imi.gov.my\/mdac\" target=\"_blank\">MDAC portal<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \u201cRegister\u201d and fill in your name, passport details, nationality, and email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Enter your travel information: arrival date, port of entry, flight details, and accommodation address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit the form and check your email for confirmation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No need to print the confirmation, the data is automatically available to immigration officers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please keep screenshot or digital copy of your submission, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Malaysia_arrival_card_fees\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Malaysia arrival card fees<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no fee for Malaysia digital arrival card.
