Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay both eVisa and MDAC fees?
Yes, eVisa and MDAC are completely separate requirements. All travelers entering Malaysia need to pay for both, unless they qualify for exemptions. Most travelers pay USD 20 (eVisa) + USD 35 (MDAC) = USD 55 minimum.
Are there any discounts for children or seniors?
No. Both children and seniors pay the same visa and MDAC fees as adults. There are no age-based discounts. Each family member requires their own visa and MDAC application.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), bank transfers, and digital wallets. All payments are processed securely through PCI-compliant payment gateways.
Can I get a refund if my plans change?
If your application is rejected by Malaysian immigration, you get a full refund. If your application is still pending, you can withdraw for a partial refund. Once approved, no refunds are available.
Why is MDAC mandatory for everyone?
MDAC is Malaysia's modern immigration declaration system required for all foreign travelers. It allows immigration officers to pre-screen information and speeds up border processing. A few countries are exempt, but most travelers must complete it.
Do I have to pay the MDAC fee even if I'm visa-exempt?
Yes. Even citizens of visa-exempt countries must pay the USD 35 MDAC fee. MDAC is a separate requirement from visa status. Only Malaysian citizens and a few other categories are exempt from MDAC.
Is there a service fee or hidden charges?
No. We have transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The total you see is exactly what you pay. Your bank may charge foreign transaction fees, but those are not our fees.
