Most foreign visitors to Malaysia, including Australians, need to complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) before they arrive.
When can it be submitted?
The MDAC can only be submitted in the 3 days before you arrive in Malaysia. If you order early, we'll prepare and check everything straight away and submit as soon as your window opens.
What you'll need
- Your Australian passport details
- Your flight number, arrival point and arrival date
- Your departure date
- Your accommodation address in Malaysia
How MyVisaMate helps
We guide you through the questions, a person checks your answers, and we submit within your chosen speed once the 3-day window is open.
