Malaysia MDAC scams: use the official immigration portal

The official MDAC address

Malaysia's Immigration Department announcement gives one MDAC address: imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main ¹. The form carries the department name and links its own enquiry route ².

MDAC is an arrival card, not a visa. The department lists a separate official e-Visa address, malaysiavisa.imi.gov.my ⁴.

Check before submitting

• Start at imi.gov.my and open the MDAC announcement ¹.
• Match the whole address, including the imi.gov.my ending ¹.
• Do not enter card details. The official MDAC form does not include a payment stage ².
• Submit in the three days before arrival when required ³.
• Save the acknowledgement email.

Who should use it

Malaysia's official entry guidance requires visitors covered by the rule to complete MDAC. It names the government portal and says the completed card is presented with the passport ³.

Exemptions exist. Check the current Immigration Department guidance for your status before filling the form.

If another page charged you

Submit or verify the arrival card through the official portal. A receipt from a private service is not proof that the government received the form.

Ask your card issuer about the transaction if the private status or charge was hidden. Do not revisit a suspicious link to gather evidence.
