Thanks for this! I'm travelling with a group to a conference in Malaysia in September (4 nationalities!) and we'll make sure we get the date right. Greetings from a fellow Canadian!
Wow! You are most welcome! Hello fellow Canadian! How exciting to travel to Malaysia for a conference. I was super excited to go to Vancouver BC for a conference. Enjoy your trip with your colleagues and a very successful conference! I hope the jetlag treats you well.
Thank you so much for this information.. hope you enjoyed your stay . May i know if date of departure is the day you are leaving Malaysia? And if i stay in different hotels including one of my friends house, which address should i provide?
Thank you for stopping by and subscribing! Yes! The date of departure is the final day you leave Malaysia. Put down your first address, you are staying in. Check your passport for the days they let you stay when you arrive, and customs stamps it❤️
@rafibhat4999 the customs officer may ask you to redo it after they stamp your passport. I recommend you do it while at the airport so it gets registered.
What about the last port of embarkation? Does this mean the last airport from which your airplane took off, or the country from which you started your trip? Let's say I'm coming from Istanbul, Turkey and I have a short 1 hour layover in Singapore without going through the immigration, should my last port of embarkation be Istanbul or Singapore? Many thanks!
Greetings ❤️ You mention you did not pass through immigration in Singapore, so you would put Istanbul as your last port of embarkation! ❤️ we hope your trip meets all your expectations ✨️
@@ladeanexploringgrandparent5485 Thanks! It did, so far so good. I actually put Singapore but apparently it didn't matter since it didn't cause an issue. Just putting this out there for anyone that might need it. Have a good day!
Hello guys, Great video ! Few questions: 1) Which SIM Card/company do you recommend to buy in Malasya ? 2) Can I find a good exchange rate at KL airport to exchange money ? Thank you so much for your help. Keep the great job. Take care folks.
Hi! Thank you for stopping by ❤️. We use Celcom in Malaysia. They have an app you can download, and we found the price worked for us. As far as exchanging money, we arrive with a small amount and then use bank ATM. We felt it was worth the convenience. Happy travels!
The Video starts -> 5:25 And I'm not surprised the Immigration officer took a dig at a White couple from the West who screwed up the arrival date. Excuse me for being a bit salty here but how on earth can anybody miss this? You just gotta look at your Air Ticket & look for the arrival date (it couldn't be more clear or specific), no timezone differences need to be factored in, no nonsense, just look at your Air Tickets. I get that it was a long flight/layover, etc. but this is something you fill up 72hrs before from the comfort of your home. Thanks for educating but I don't think many travellers are dumb enough to make this mistake. Take care though
Thanks for providing levity for us! You brought a smile to our faces! Also, we have had many other screwups in our lives that could bring even more levity! Enjoy your travels! ❤️
Greetings ❤️ You did what we did. Did you get a confirming email with a code to edit or update your application? If yes, try editing the original one. Otherwise, you will need to start again with the correct date. Enjoy your trip ❤️
Hello sir i will reach malaysia on 1 st april , i booked hotel in kuala lampur , so can u tell me what should i need to fill in state & city field in mdac form ??
There's a special area near the immigration at the airport. Four or five computer stations with the website already on screen. Took me about 10 minutes, this is at KLIA.
whoa... I am travelling to Malaysia this week and having real troubles 1st accessing the website. nevertheless, once I click on the submit button, nothing shows up on the other side of the submission. I had to register my family too, which I did, thinking that I will get an email. But, NO. Tried doing the "Check Registration" it asks for an OTP / PIN, which was never asked at the time of registration. I tried to reset / "Forgot PIN" it says not allowed to reset PIN. Reset PIN allows once a day" I really wonder what should be the next step!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, I am so sorry you are having such a frustrating time. It could be the website was malfunctioning. The PIN arrives in the confirmation email which it sounds like you did not get, so the PIN was not generated. I hope you have tried again making sure all the needed info has been added and you can click submit. If you can connect to the airport wifi or you have cellular data you can click on the QR code in the line up. As we mentioned in the video we did it wrong and the customs officer was nice enough to stamp our passport without it and told us to fill it out. Which we did. I am not sure if we need it to leave the country.
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! Yes .... OMG.... I waited for a couple of hours, cleared browser cache, cookies etc and tried again... the site would not start / super slow, while other websites are working... Then downloaded another browser, and then opened the website, still slow, but at least it opened and I was able to finally fill the form. And most importantly, I was able to proceed to the subsequent page and I got the email confirmation and the most awaited PIN.... Further, not sure of everyone, but I heard elsewhere that sometimes the immigration officer asks for a print out of the PDF file that is generated on the porrtal. I have taken it for safety... Hope I do not have any issues and the officer does not ask me a question like, "Do you understand English"..... hahaha
Thanks for the information about MDAC! I have a layover of 10hours and wont be taking a hotel..just want to go on a city tour...what needs to be filled in hotel details?
You are welcome! This is not legal visa advice so please check the Malaysia Government website for yourself. I checked the Malaysia Government site to see what Visas they offer and it says they have 3 visas, Single Entry -social entry visa (which we get) normally gives you 90 days, Multiple Entry Visa Business or Government matters normally 3 to 12 months and finally the Transit Visa which really isn’t a visa as it is when you are transiting through the airport. You want to leave the airport so you will find out if you need a Single Entry visa. Have you thought about putting the airport as your hotel? You could send an email to the immigration like Nomadjack is doing and see if you get a reply. We were on a long layover in South Africa and decided the visa for leaving during a layover wasn’t going to work for us. I hope this works for you.
@manyapugalia7607 welcome ❤️ please put the first place you are staying overnight in. It sounds like you are going to Langkawi first after landing in Kuala Lumpur. If that is correct, then Langkawi is your landing destination. Let us know if you need more clarification or questions! Happy travels we loved Langkawi!
Thank you for making this video. I googled MDAC and got a website that tried to charge a $50 fee. I went to your video and saw it was different then the site I was on. I think it was a scam site trying to collect a fee so I am glad I saw this. What is the normal fee for this?
Hi what will happen if I forget to register to mdac and I am already in malaysia airport? Does this mean I cannot enter malaysi? They will not allow me to enter?
If you have passed through immigration and they never asked you about it. Check your passport for your departure date.leave by that date! Welcome to Malaysia ❤️
Greetings! You can use your confirmation code from the email you receive and edit your application. If you can't do that, redo the application with the correct dates. ❤️
Hello sir , i want to know about mdac form , my flight will fly from delhi on 1 st april at 11 pm & will reach to malaysia on 2 nd april at 6:55 am , so in arrival date area - which date should i mention 1 st april or 2 nd april
Hello sir i have a doubt regarding mdac, i have booked 2 hotels for stay in Malaysia so which one i have to fill in the mdac form ..1st hotel only for 1 day and the other days in another hotel.I am confused now which one to fill out maybe you can help out Thx in advance 😊
Greetings ❤️ Is the 7:15 a.m. on the 14 in Malaysia? If that is true, then you must put the 14th as your arrival date in Malaysia. It doesn't matter when you leave! Only when you arrive! In our video, that was our mistake. Thank you for stopping by and subscribing to our channel ❤️
Hi, today is july 1st, i will be arriving in Malaysia on july 4th, but cannot choose the date. So i think it means i need to fill up mdac on july 2nd instead? Since ill land on the 4th?🤔
Greetings! Yes, you can only fill out the form within 3 days of arrival, including the arrival date. Check to make sure your arrival date matches the date in Malaysia. Happy traveling ❤️
Hello I will be studying in Malaysia, but I don't know what time I will leave what should I write in date of departure like the same date of arrival they will not asking me ?
Hi, are you coming into Malaysia on a study visa? I would put the departure date to match your end date of your visa. We had a tourist visa of 90 days so our departure date matched 90 days. Let me know if you have more questions and I hope you enjoy your studies!
Hi! We recommend putting the arrival date expected as you can't control if there is a delay. Have your confirmation email available to show the customs officer. As we mentioned in the video, our date was one day wrong. We made a mistake, and we still got through then changed it right in the customs area. If your plane is delayed, there will be 100s of people in the same situation. Put the date you are supposed to arrive ❤️
Hello. I live in the UAE, but my nationality is Iran. In the country code section, should I enter Iran, or does the place where I live mean the UAE? What about mobile number?
The country code that it is referring to is the country code of you phone number. Since we come from North America ours is +1. You should add the country code of your phone number. When you enter your mobile number, you don't include your country code 😀
Hello, Something I am currently having an issue with is when we arrived from Thailand we were unaware of the MDAC Registration so we were filling it out while in immigration line and struggling with the WIFI so one of the security guards informed us we could do it later so we kinda forgot about it till 5 days later and now unable to register due to arrival date has passed, I can't find anything online about what to do at this point so just sent an email to immigration and wondering if anyone has gone through similar situations?
Hello, That is very interesting that the customs Officer didn’t stop you from going on without telling you to fill it out there. As we said in the video we filled it out wrong and had to go over to the table close the customs station and fill it out again. Did you check your passport to make sure you were given your 90 days? I would make sure you leave the country a few days before the ninety days just to make sure there is no concern about you leaving. If you were given your visa you should be fine. They have your passport information. Their system has not picked up that your passport doesn’t have a Digital Card attached to it. I think you are in the clear. You are being proactive and contacting immigration. We wish you the best with this.

Cutting to the Chase -> They Messed up the Arrival Date on the MDAC; a rookie mistake

Hello guys,
Great video !
Few questions:
1) Which SIM Card/company do you recommend to buy in Malasya ?
2) Can I find a good exchange rate at KL airport to exchange money ?
Thank you so much for your help.
Keep the great job.
Take care folks.

Great info. My flight leaves Australia at 11 30pm. So I arrive the next day.
Yeah! Have a great trip! ❤️
