Overview

The online pre-registration procedure that visitors must do prior to entering Malaysia is known as Malaysia Pre-Enrollment. To speed up immigration clearance at Malaysian airports and entry points, visitors must submit their travel and personal information using the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) system before arriving.
