Apply for Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) for Polish Citizens
Coming from Poland? You need the MDAC before you fly to Malaysia. Apply online with guided support and catch mistakes before they cause delays. Get confirmation within hours, skip the embassy queues, and arrive ready.
Poland to Malaysia MDAC quick facts
- Polish travelers generally need MDAC before entering Malaysia
- Submit in the allowed 3-day window before arrival
- MDAC is separate from visa-free or visa-required status
Malaysia Digital Arrival Card for Polish Citizens
Polish passport holders get 90 days visa-free in Malaysia. Good news, right? But you still need the MDAC before you arrive. It is a separate requirement from visa status and applies to most short-term visitors.
Flying from Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW)? LOT Polish Airlines connects directly to Kuala Lumpur International Airport with convenient schedules. Submit your MDAC within 72 hours of arrival. Polish names use diacritics like ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, and ż that the MDAC form does not accept. Write them without diacritics: a, c, e, l, n, o, s, z, z. Use the spelling from your passport machine-readable zone.
Traveling during Polish summer break (July and August), the Christmas season, or the Easter holiday period? Those are the busiest times for Polish travelers heading to Southeast Asia. Apply a day early to avoid last-minute rushes. If you fly with a connection through Dubai, Doha, or Amsterdam on the way to KL, the MDAC is still needed. Transit does not remove this requirement unless you stay airside without passing immigration.
Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Langkawi are the most popular destinations for Polish visitors. Some also explore the Cameron Highlands for the cooler climate and tea plantations. If you plan to visit multiple cities, one MDAC works for the entire trip. Just enter the address of your first accommodation in Malaysia carefully.
Malaysia MDAC requirements for Polish citizens
Who needs MDAC
Most Polish travelers entering Malaysia need to submit MDAC before arrival. This includes tourists and short-term visitors regardless of visa-free status.
When to apply from Poland
You can submit MDAC within 3 days (72 hours) before your arrival date. Not earlier, not later. Mark it on your calendar.
What you need
Your passport, your flight details, and where you are staying in Malaysia. Have these ready before you start.
MDAC is not a visa
MDAC is an arrival card, not a visa. Polish passports are visa-free for 90 days. You still fill in the MDAC. Both rules apply.
What Polish travelers should prepare before MDAC submission
Get these ready and the form takes about 3 minutes.
Valid passport
Use the exact name, number and expiry date printed on your passport. Not a scan, not a photo. Polish passports show diacritics in the name field but the machine-readable zone uses plain letters. Use that version.
Travel dates
Know your arrival and departure dates before you start. Changing them later means a new submission.
Flight details
Have your flight number and airline ready. LOT Polish Airlines flies direct from Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) to KLIA. Other options include connections through Dubai, Doha, or Amsterdam with various carriers.
Address in Malaysia
Your hotel name and address for your first night. If you are not sure yet, book something refundable. Names with Polish diacritics on bookings should match the plain-letter version on your passport.
Common MDAC mistakes Polish travelers should avoid
Catching these early saves you time at immigration.
- Entering Polish diacritics like ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż on the MDAC form. The system does not support them. Use plain letters: a, c, e, l, n, o, s, z, z. For example, Łódź becomes Lodz.
- Submitting too early. MDAC has a strict 72-hour window. If you submit a week early, it may not be valid.
- Using a different name spelling than your passport shows. If your booking says Lewandowski but your passport has the diacritic version, use the passport spelling in plain letters.
- Leaving the confirmation email in your spam folder. Save it on your phone before you fly.

Szybko i sprawnie. Filled in my MDAC from Warsaw and had the confirmation back the same evening. The diacritic check saved me from typing my name wrong.
