The Official Page For The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (a.k.a MDAC)

Because, for some reasons, finding it is that hard.

Imagine.

You're planning to discover a new country but ... you get scammed.
And this, even before entering it!

That's nearly what happened to me.

While looking for the official page of the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC), I identified a scam and pulled back before getting tricked. After more research, I realised that these scams are in fact widespread and somewhat sophisticated.

So if you're planning to fly (or cruise) to Malaysia and you're looking for the official page of the MDAC, this post is for you.

The official page #

As of November 4th, 2025, the official link is:

https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main

Once you reach this page, you'll be faced with the following (90s-looking) website.

From there, you will need to click on "REGISTER". A new page will load and will ask you to type the information about your travel. It should resemble the following screenshot.

Spoiler: Entering a date in any of the date fields will test your patience — without a doubt.

The next and last part of the page is a scroll away from the "Traveling Information" section you must have filled by now. It contains the "Personal Information" section.

And that's it!

Within seconds (sometimes minutes if you're unlucky) of completing the form, you should receive an email. The subject line should be "Auto-Reply: Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) - Registration Acknowledgement".

Also, it will contain the information you entered in the form as well as an automatically generated PIN code at the very end of it.

If so, you're good to go!
You should soon be on your way to enjoy some nasi kandar, isn't it?

The rest of this post focuses on identifying fakes pages.
You don't need to read further if you were only looking for the clickable official link provided at the top of this article.

If you had trouble finding the latter using Google, I really get you.

For some reasons, the highest-ranked page from the Malaysian government I keep finding is this one . It displays the official link leading to the MDAC page, sure, but only as an image!

It's not clickable so we're forced to type the whole URL manually (and with no typo) to access it. That's probably why you ended up finding my article.

Still, it's good news.

It means you won't get fooled by any of these non-legit sites. And if you're curious as to how to identify such websites, continue to read.

How to spot fake pages? #

Note: I'm calling "fake pages" those that CHARGE you for the FREE service of generating an MDAC.

I was truly baffled when I saw the myriad of fake pages in existence proposing the generation of an MDAC.

To prevent falling for any of these pages, here are three guidelines.

1. Ignore all "Sponsored results" #

On Google, there are two types of results.

Sponsored ones. People pay to have their links shown first for certain queries. (Example of a query: "red trousers".)
Organic ones. Those that appear first by being identified by Google as the best match for the query at hand.

When looking for the official page, never click on any sponsored result. I found out that all of them are non-official websites intending to scam people.

2. Do not pay for your MDAC #

The MDAC is free.
I repeat: the MDAC is free!

Let's say you were unlucky and clicked on one of the non-legit pages. You filled in your information only to discover at the very last step that the site wants to charge you to "finalise your request".

Stop immediately.
I repeat: stop immediately!

If a website charges you to generate and send the MDAC, it means it's a scam. The official MDAC is completely free.

3. Verify the domain name #

Last but not least, the domain name.

As far as I know, there is only one domain name used by the Malaysian government to offer the MDAC service. It's the following one:

imigresen-online.imi.gov.my

Notice that it ends in ".gov.my", which is the official domain name of the Malaysian government website.

If you are on a page whose URL does not end with this "imi.gov.my", then you are on the wrong website!

That is all for the three guidelines to identify fake pages.

List of identified fake websites #

This section shows you non-legit pages I identified. For now, I found:

• https://malaysiadac.visasyst.com
• https://e-visa-express.com/en/malaysia/malaysia-digital-arrival-card/applicationform

Yes, the last one — even though very official-looking when you browse it — is not the official website. It is not even affiliated with the Malaysian government in any way.

Now, you know everything!

I hope these information will save you time, money, and more importantly, prevent disappointments.
