Malaysia Entry Guide for Indian Travellers

From the glittering towers of Kuala Lumpur to the rainforests of Borneo, Malaysia is a favorite destination for Indian families. Skyway Tours & Travels brings you the latest travel news: Indian citizens can currently enter Malaysia Visa-Free! However, a new digital requirement (MDAC) is now mandatory for all visitors.

Entry Requirements for Indian Nationals

While the "Visa" is waived, immigration checks are strict. You must have the following ready:

Document Checklist for Immigration

• Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry.
• MDAC PDF: A printed or digital copy of the Digital Arrival Card email acknowledgment.
• Confirmed Return Ticket: Mandatory proof that you will leave Malaysia within 30 days.
• Accommodation Proof: Confirmed hotel booking or address of host.
• Sufficient Funds: Carry approx $100 USD (or 500 Ringgit) per day of stay in Cash/Cards to show if asked.

How to Fill the MDAC (Step-by-Step)

Skyway Tours can assist you with filling this form accurately to avoid data mismatch errors at the e-gates.

1. Visit Portal: Go to the official Immigration Department website.
2. Enter Details: Fill in your passport data, date of arrival, and accommodation address.
3. Submit: Once submitted, you will receive a PIN / Acknowledgement email.
4. Save PDF: Download the PIN email. You might not need to show it if you use the Autogate, but keeping a copy is essential.

What about E-Visa?

You only need to apply for a paid E-Visa if you plan to stay more than 30 days. For standard tourism (under 30 days), the Visa-Free route is the best choice.

Common Questions

Can I use the Autogates at KL Airport?

Yes! Indian citizens who have successfully registered their MDAC 3 days prior can now use the Autogates at KLIA1 and KLIA2 for faster immigration clearance.

Is the visa-free entry extendable?

No. The 30-day Social Visit Pass is generally non-extendable. You must exit Malaysia on or before the 30th day. Overstaying attracts heavy fines and blacklisting.

Do children need MDAC?

Yes, every passenger regardless of age (including infants) requires their own MDAC submission.
