Entry Requirements Malaysia - Digital Arrival Card MDAC

The Immigration Department of Malaysia made an announcement that the digital arrival card would be compulsory for all foreign nationals entering the country.

More info: www.therfiles.com/entry-requi...
To ensure there is no congestion at the international entry points, the Home Minister of Malaysia said on 5th December -
0:14 - Those exempted from submitting the MDAC are:
Singaporeans travelling to Malaysia will not be required to fill up the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card.
Besides Singaporeans, the following categories of travellers are also not required to complete the digital card: Malaysia long-term pass holders, those with Brunei common identification certificates and Brunei Malaysia Frequent Traveller Facility, holders of Thai border passes and Indonesian Cross-Border passes, diplomatic passport holders, Malaysian permanent residents.
A grace period is in effect until 31st December 2023. Travellers can still fill out the digital card once they get to Malaysia, so flexibility is given.
From January 1st, it will be compulsory to do so, within three days before arrival.
Travelers are required to input personal information such as their name, nationality, passport details, as well as arrival and departure dates on the MDAC website.
Travellers have to present their the completed digital card and passports and to the immigration officer on duty upon arrival.
He stated that the introduction of the digital card is a security measure.
The information provided on the card will offer crucial details about the travelers' whereabouts. It's not a new concept; other countries are also adopting similar practices.
The announcement comes days after the country’s Immigration Department said on Facebook that the digital arrival card would be compulsory for all foreign nationals. This sparked discussion among some travellers, with confusion over whether this would be required of all arrivals, including those driving from Singapore or long term pass holders. Some also said it was unclear whether this was compulsory for entry via both manual immigration counters and e-gates.
This decision followed Malaysia's initiative to grant citizens of China and India a 30-day visa-free entry to the country from December 1st, aiming to boost tourism and the economy.
To facilitate the arrival process, 14 new passport control counters were established at KLIA from December 1st, increasing the total number to 60.

So is filling the MDAC required? The problem is, he's not arriving before the implementation of MDAC, he had and already been in Malaysia. So there's no way, to backtrack and choose Nov arrival date.

    Hi there I’m flying to Kuala Lumpur from New Zealand Tuesday morning 1:40am NZT. I’ve just filled out the MDAC form. But I’ve chosen 26th arrival and 27th as departure which is when I leave kuala for muscat. I’m only doing a 13 hour stop over in kuala before my connecting flight at 9pm that night. I wanted to know if I’m too late because my flights tomorrow and I’ve submitted the MDAC form. The day before but I’ve still received the MDAC email with the pin at the bottom so I’m guessing there’s nothing to worry about? I thought I was too late I was gonna cancel my tour.

    Hi! 😀 I've got 2 (kinda daft 😳😅) questions about MDAC 1: since the guidance says only FOREIGN citizens (minus the exceptions) must fill in MDAC, that means Malaysian citizens and Malaysian Passport Holders DO NOT fill in MDAC, correct? 😅 2: if they don't fill in MDAC, why does the registration form allow you to select Malaysia as the Nationality/Citizenship? 😳😅 Did the Malay immigration authority not delete that option on the website? I haven't tried submitting a registration as its not due yet.

    I have two questions. I hope you can address: 1. We are planning to stay in 2 cities, Johor Bahru and KL. There is only one option to put the city where we are staying. I can only fill out one city and no option to add another city. How does that work? 2. We will be doing a day trip in Singapore when we stay in JB. Example our stay will be from Feb 23 - 29---is it okay to just enter those details for arrival and departure once even if we will be going out of Malaysia to SG for a day trip on Feb 24? Or do i need to fill out again upon re-entering from SG? Thank you!! ❤
