From 1 January 2024, every international visitor traveling to Malaysia has to fill out the new ‘Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC)’ before entering.
It will be a digital form which is accessible for completion up to three days before the planned arrival in Malaysia, the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur says.
This mean, that when travelers come into the country, they must provide a completed MDAC as well as a valid passport to border officials. Kind of like showing a visa.
