Singaporeans visiting Malaysia are free from completing the nation’s online arrival card, which will become required of the majority of foreigners starting on January 1.  ,
For those who frequent the nation, the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card ( MDAC ) will not be required, according to Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail on Tuesday ( Dec 5 ).  ,
He told reporters at Kuala Lumpur International Airport,” This is also to confirm there is no congestion at our foreign entry details.”
The following types of travelers, in addition to Singaporeans, are exempt from the MDAC requirements: buyers of Malaysia long-term moves, Brunei Malaysia Frequent Traveller Facility recipients, and Holders of Thai border moves and Indonesian Cross-Border Passes.
The announcement was made on Tuesday, days after the nation’s immigration office announced on Instagram that all foreigners would need to have a modern arrival card.
Some travelers debated whether this would be expected of all visitors, including those coming from Singapore, as a result of this. Some people added that it was unclear if this was required for entry through both e-gates and human immigration counters.  ,
Only permanent residents, holders of the Malaysia Automated Clearance System ( MACS), and those” transiting or transferring through Singapore without seeking immigration clearance” were exempt from the department’s official website at the time.
There is now a grace time until December 31.
Because some visitors just learned about this implementation upon arrival, they can also fill out the online card when they arrive, but flexibility is given, according to Saifuddin.  ,
Beginning on January 1, it will be required to do so two to three days prior to entry.  ,
