Malaysia Digital Arrival Card for Travelers from Comoros
Comorian passport holders get visa-free entry to Malaysia for tourism and business visits. No visa application needed before travel. But the MDAC is a separate requirement that applies to all travelers entering Malaysia. You still need to complete it before you fly. It is the digital version of the paper arrival card that used to be handed out on planes.
Flying from Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni? There are no direct flights from Comoros to Kuala Lumpur. Most Comorian travelers fly via Addis Ababa with Ethiopian Airlines, via Nairobi with Kenya Airways, or via Doha with Qatar Airways. Turkish Airlines via Istanbul is another option. Total travel is about 15 to 20 hours depending on connections.
When do Comorians travel to Malaysia? Travel peaks during the dry season from May to October. Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha affect travel patterns significantly. School holidays from August to September also see more travel. Independence Day (July 6) is a national holiday when some Comorians combine leave with international travel. Submit your MDAC in the 72-hour window before departure.
Where do Comorian travelers go in Malaysia? Kuala Lumpur is the top destination for the Petronas Towers, Batu Caves, and shopping. Penang appeals with its street food culture and George Town heritage, similar to the multicultural vibe of Moroni's old medina. Langkawi offers beaches and duty-free shopping. For nature, Sabah in Borneo provides jungle trekking and wildlife. The Perhentian Islands offer snorkeling and island life comparable to Comoros' own coral reefs.
Malaysia MDAC requirements for travelers from Comoros
Who needs MDAC
All travelers from Comoros entering Malaysia need to submit MDAC before arrival. This applies regardless of visa arrangements. No exceptions for tourists or short visits.
When to apply from Comoros
You can submit MDAC within 3 days (72 hours) before your arrival date in Malaysia. Not earlier, not later. Set a reminder for 48 hours before your flight so you have a full day buffer for comoros travelers.
What you need
Your valid comoros passport, your flight details from Comoros, and your accommodation address in Malaysia. Have your booking confirmation handy for the flight number and hotel address.
MDAC is not a Comoros visa
For comoros passports, MDAC is a digital arrival card, not a visa. Check your specific visa status separately. The MDAC registers your trip details and is checked at immigration alongside your passport for comoros travelers.
What travelers from Comoros should prepare before MDAC submission
Get these ready and the form takes about 3 minutes.
Valid comoros passport
Use the exact name, number, and expiry as printed on your passport. Comorian passports show nom (family name) first, then prénom (given name). On the MDAC, Given Name comes first and Family Name second. Arabic naming elements like bin or al- should be entered as on your passport.
Flight details from Moroni
Have your airline, connections, and Malaysia arrival time ready. Most comoros travelers connect through major hubs. Enter the flight number of your final leg arriving in Malaysia.
Malaysia hotel for comoros trips
Your first Malaysia hotel or guesthouse address. Do not enter your comoros home address. Use Malaysian format: street name, city, postcode, state.
Comoros return flight info
Have your departure flight from Malaysia ready. Immigration may ask for proof of onward travel. The MDAC asks for your departure date from Malaysia.
Common MDAC mistakes travelers from Comoros should avoid
Catching these early saves you time at immigration.
- Thinking visa-free means no MDAC needed. This is the most common mistake. Visa-free access is separate from the MDAC requirement. You must submit the MDAC before every trip to Malaysia.
- Name format confusion. Comorian passports use French naming: nom (family name) and prénom (given name). On the MDAC, Given Name comes first, then Family Name. Arabic-influenced names with bin, bint, or al- should be entered exactly as printed on the passport.
- Entering a Comorian home address in the Malaysia address field. The MDAC asks for your accommodation in Malaysia. Put your hotel name and address, not your home in Moroni or Mutsamudu.
- Date format mix-up. Comoros uses DD/MM/YYYY. The MDAC also uses DD/MM/YYYY, so the format matches. Still double-check that your date of birth and travel dates are in the correct order.

What travelers from Comoros say
Thousands of travelers have used TopTravelVisa for their Malaysia MDAC submission. Here is what recent applicants share.
Visa-free entry for Comorians is great. Did not know about MDAC though. The guide was clear and the form took about 5 minutes. Flew from Moroni via Addis and arrived at KLIA without issues.

Almost used my home address in Mutsamudu on the form. The instructions said Malaysia accommodation only. That would have caused problems. Thanks for the clarity.
Siti N.
Traveled from Mutsamudu, March 2026
The date format thing got me confused. Comoros uses DD/MM/YYYY but with the French naming on my passport I mixed up my birth date. The team caught it before submission.
