Malaysia MDAC for Saudi passport holders

Apply for Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) for Saudi Arabia Citizens

If you are flying from Jeddah, Riyadh, or Dammam, your Saudi passport still needs Malaysia MDAC before arrival. The visa-free stay is a separate rule. Submit inside the 72-hour window, keep your passport details exact, and have your first stay address ready when you open the form.

What matters first

  • Saudi passports are visa-free for up to 90 days, but MDAC still applies.
  • Saudia and Flynas are common choices, with many trips connecting through Kuala Lumpur.
  • Eid periods, summer travel, and school breaks are busy times for Malaysia trips.

Keep these ready

  • Use the English spelling from your passport data page, including any Al- prefix.
  • Keep the final flight into Malaysia and your first hotel address close by.
  • If you travel with family, each person needs a separate MDAC submission.
