Malaysia MDAC for Anguillan Citizens
Anguilla has no long-haul airport. You take a ferry to Sint Maarten or fly via Antigua.
If you hold a BOTC passport, you need a visa for Malaysia plus the MDAC. If you hold a full UK passport, you get 90 days visa-free. Either way, you still need the MDAC.
We check your form before submission. Tell us which passport you are traveling on, and we make sure everything matches.

What you need to know about MDAC
Anguilla's Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport handles regional flights only. To reach Malaysia, you take a 20-minute ferry to Sint Maarten (SXM) or fly to Antigua (ANU), then connect via Doha, Dubai, or London. Expect a travel time of 20 to 24 hours.
The BOTC passport from Anguilla is not on Malaysia's visa-free list. You must apply for a visa through the Malaysian High Commission in London or the nearest embassy. If you hold a full UK passport, you can enter visa-free for up to 90 days. The MDAC is needed in both cases.
Visiting Kuala Lumpur for the Petronas Towers? Penang for the street food? Langkawi for the beaches? Anguilla travelers need the MDAC before Malaysian immigration, whether the stay is in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, or Langkawi.

Common MDAC mistakes to watch for
Anguilla travelers need to check passport type, nationality dropdown, and multi-leg arrival dates.
- Entering Anguilla as your departure airport. Enter the airport where you actually board your long-haul flight, like Sint Maarten (SXM) or Antigua (ANU).
- Traveling on a BOTC passport without a visa. The BOTC passport is not visa-free for Malaysia. Make sure you have your visa before you fly.
- Using the wrong passport on the MDAC form. If you hold both a BOTC and a UK passport, enter the details of the passport you plan to travel on. They must match at immigration.
- Not saving your MDAC confirmation number. Airlines at Sint Maarten or Antigua may ask for proof of MDAC submission before issuing your boarding pass.
