How to Fill Out the Malaysia MDAC Arrival Card with eVisaFlow

Fill the Malaysia MDAC with eVisaFlow, then select your birthplace and check the departure country, default departure date and accommodation address.

How to Fill Out the Malaysia MDAC Arrival Card with eVisaFlow

TL;DR: Open the eVisaFlow side panel on the official MDAC website, select a passport, and complete your trip, accommodation and contact details before clicking Auto Fill. The extension fills personal and travel information on the same page. Select Place of Birth manually on the official form. Check the departure country and default departure date, then complete the website's slider verification yourself before submitting.

This guide uses the eVisaFlow Southeast Asia Chrome extension to fill out the Malaysia MDAC arrival card on the official website. The screenshots use fictional passport and contact details for a Chinese passport holder flying from Thailand to Kuala Lumpur; enter your own details when completing the form.

For timing, field meanings and autogate rules, see the Malaysia MDAC form guide. This tutorial focuses on using the extension.

1. Open the MDAC website and the side panel

Open the official MDAC website. Click the eVisaFlow icon in Chrome's toolbar to open the side panel, then select Malaysia Arrival Card.

Enable Auto-enter form page to go straight to Registration when you open the website. If you leave it disabled, click Register on the website.

Initially, the page shows only name, passport number, date of birth and nationality. More personal and travel fields appear as the form is filled; you do not need to find a second form.

eVisaFlow Southeast Asia enters saved passport, trip, accommodation and contact details on the official MDAC website when you click Auto Fill.

2. Select a passport and check the side-panel details

Select the passport for this trip under Passport and check the name and number. To add a passport, use Data → Open Passport Management → Add Passport, then return to the official tab and select it.

Accommodation fields may already contain values. Replace them with your own booking details. Grey placeholder examples, meanwhile, are not saved values.

Side-panel field Example and what to check
Arrival Date September 7, 2026; use your own arrival date
Mode of Travel AIR; this tutorial only covers arrival by air
Transport No. MH781; enter the complete flight number here
Last Country THA - THAILAND; select where you depart from before entering Malaysia
Accommodation Type HOTEL/MOTEL/REST HOUSE
Address Line 1 Hotel name; the example uses PULLMAN KUALA LUMPUR CITY CENTRE HOTEL & RESIDENCES
Address Line 2 Street address; the example uses the hotel's Jalan Conlay address
Province WP KUALA LUMPUR, corresponding to State on the official form
City / Postcode KUALA LUMPUR / 50450; use the details from your booking
Country Code / Phone Number / Email Telephone country code, mobile number and an email address that can receive messages

Check Last Country separately. Its default option is Default (Use Passport Nationality). The official field, however, is Last Port of Embarkation before Malaysia, asking where you depart from before reaching Malaysia. For example, if you hold a Chinese passport but fly from Thailand to Malaysia, select THA - THAILAND in the side panel.

3. Click Auto Fill, then select your birthplace

Keep the official Registration tab active and click Auto Fill in the side panel. The extension enters the following details:

  • Name, passport number, date of birth, nationality, sex and passport expiry date.
  • Telephone country code, mobile number, and both Email Address and Confirm Email Address.
  • Arrival and departure dates, transport mode, flight number, departure country and accommodation details.

Select Place of Birth manually on the official form, even if Birth Country is already saved in your passport details. Choose CHN - CHINA if you were born in China. Use your actual birthplace, which can differ from your nationality.

4. Check dates, departure country and accommodation

The extension sets a default 30-day stay, counting the arrival date as day one. For example, an arrival date of 07/09/2026 gives a departure date of 06/10/2026. Change the departure date on the website if it differs from your itinerary. The extension's default does not establish your permitted stay.

If you are flying from Thailand, confirm that Last Port of Embarkation before Malaysia shows THA - THAILAND on the official form.

Check the complete accommodation address, state, city and postcode. For the hotel in this example, State should read WP KUALA LUMPUR, City KUALA LUMPUR, and the postcode 50450.

Check the hotel name as it appears on the official form. Characters such as the & in this example are removed during filling, so make sure the remaining text still identifies your accommodation accurately.

Use the screenshot below to compare the side-panel fields with the completed form, including the birthplace selected on the website.

5. Check your details and submit

Compare the completed form with your passport, flight and hotel bookings. Check that both email fields contain the same correct address.

Scroll to Drag To Verify / Slide the Puzzle at the bottom of the form and complete the slider verification. Then click Submit and follow the website's instructions.

If you notice an error after submission, see the SGAC and MDAC correction guide. Do not assume another country's arrival-card correction process applies to MDAC.
