Arrival & Visa Process

Indian citizens currently enjoy visa-free entry to Malaysia (up to 30 days). The entry process is smooth, provided you complete one crucial step:

MDAC Form: You MUST fill out the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) form online within 3 days prior to your arrival date. It is completely free.
Details Required: You will need to provide your passport details, flight dates, and the address of your first hotel/hostel booking.
Pro-tip: Always carry a physical printout of your MDAC confirmation and hotel booking, just in case immigration requests it.
Connectivity & Transport: Pick up a local SIM (like Tune Talk for around ₹500) at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). To reach the city center, download the 'Grab' app (Malaysia's Uber) or take a bus/train to KL Sentral.
