Do North Korea passport holders need a visa for Malaysia?
Yes — a visa, arranged in advance through Malaysia’s own government channel. The MDAC still has to be submitted before arrival — free, on the official site.
Policy
Max stay
Per official approval
- The official form is free, on the government’s own site.
- Automation we built fills in your MDAC under your supervision — you review it, change anything, and submit it yourself.
- The service fee is charged only after the official government site confirms it has your submission.
- Your passport details and health declarations never leave your device — we have no way to read them; the one exception is the passport photo you choose to scan, which passes through a recognition service once and is discarded, not kept.
Your next step
Apply through the destination’s own government channel. Anyone charging you for the arrival card itself is not the government.
The MDAC — what it means for you
Your visa and the MDAC are two separate submissions — sorting the visa out does not file the MDAC for you.
First time filing it? The full guide covers who is exempt, the exact window, and fixing mistakes — read the MDAC guide.
