Do Children Under 18 Need an MDAC to Enter Malaysia?

Yes, all travelers — including children under the age of 18 — are required to submit a Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) before entering the country.

There are no exemptions based on age. Each child, regardless of age, must have an individual MDAC submitted in their name.

Who Can Submit the MDAC on Behalf of a Child?

The parent or legal guardian is responsible for completing and submitting the MDAC on behalf of a minor. When filling out the form, the adult should ensure that all the child’s personal and travel information is accurate and up to date.

If you are using the services of malaysiadigitalcard.com, you can easily include children as part of your group application. Our team will handle each individual MDAC — including those for minors — and deliver all completed cards to the email address you provide.

✅ Important: Children must still go through immigration upon arrival, accompanied by their parent or guardian, and be prepared to present their MDAC along with a valid passport.
