Exciting news! Malaysia has now granted visa-free entry to Chinese travelers. But before you pack your bags, there’s a crucial step you need to take: filling out the Malaysian MDAC entry card. Whether you’re a tourist or a student, this declaration is mandatory for a smooth entry into the country. Don’t miss out on your adventure by skipping this important form!
Preparations for Entering Malaysia
Passport (Required): Ensure your passport is valid for more than 6 months and in good condition. New passports are also accepted.
MDAC Entry Card (Required): Complete this form before your arrival. Detailed instructions in Chinese are available at the end of the images!
Hotel itinerary and return flight ticket: Electronic versions are acceptable. Note that while Malaysia doesn’t check return tickets upon entry, they will be verified when you depart from China.
Some say border control isn’t strict, so do you really need to fill it out or print it?
If you’re going through the manual channel, although border control might not scrutinize every detail, it’s highly recommended to print or save a PDF version. Even if they don’t check, having it ready can save you from any unexpected hassles.
For those using the self-service channel, no printing is required—just keep the PDF saved on your phone. However, failing to fill out the form will directly impact your ability to use the self-service option. Avoid the risk of being stopped by customs, as it can be quite troublesome!
Here are some commonly used states, cities, and postal codes for your entry:
– Kuala Lumpur, WP KUALA LUMPUR – Postal Code: 50000
– Kota Kinabalu, SABAH – Postal Code: 88670
– Semporna, SABAH – Postal Code: 91308
– Melaka, Malacca – Postal Code: 75000
