[spinning_quirK]

You aren't clear what's your situation...have registered for MACSv02 yet? If not you will not be able to use E-Gate.

Mon to Thur, 8am to 7pm, registration counter located between Autopass gates (egate)
Might encounter long queue slow movement
Remember to fill up e-form in MDAC website first and get your emailed application ready. The officer will ask for it together with your passport.

Today counter open. Queue began to grow longer from 9 am onwards. Waited 20 min to register and cleared e-gate successfully.

In KL Airport...anyone can advise whether there's a special lane/counter to register for MACSv02?

Thanks

From Singapore to Malaysia, yes u need to submit MDAC. However, I also heard from someone that no submission also can use e-gate at JB, but this one I can't confirm.

Below from their website. Supposedly from 1 Jan 2024, sinkies no need fill MDAC. But somebody said he couldn't clear egate w/o this. So I still fill it in everytime I go JB. Or am I missing something

 

[spinning_quirK]

Yes, to pass through e-gates you need MDAC.

Consider Carefully
You're already using e-gates. Your passport isn't being chopped. If you're not filling up your MDAC, how will MY authorities have a record of your movement?

Previously MDAC is required for all methods for entering Msia. But they removed that requirement (with exceptions), however still need MDAC for egate.

It's like now no requirement of wearing mask, but some places like hospitals clinics still need.

Hey guys, was talking to the officer at the immigration office. If you fly in via KLIA and enter egate, and return by car via Woodlands, there might be some teething problems especially since you don't have chop.

They mentioned there is an existing issue with entering via KLIA 1 and exit KLIA2 egates.

Has anyone done mixed mode entry and exit?

I had entered Malaysia via Tuas checkpoint and returned via Woodland's checkpoint using e-gates.
Entrance via coach & exit via bus, nevertheless I did register MDAC though, so far no issues.

I've a couple of AUS friends who will be entering JB via land.

Are they allowed to apply for E-Gate use at JB's CIQ or foreigners, besides SG, can only apply at KLIA?

Whatever, they will know soon enough.

They can do so via JB custom too.
Just remember to submit MDAC first and see if the status is positive.
If yes, they can go to the JB 1st two counters to register, only on Monday to Thursday, 8am to 7pm

Will definitely try since they must also submit MDAC.

Only that... the infographic states that for foreigners to register is via KLIA... let's see.

Will update when done.

Do not listen to those junks.
Check Egate Eligibility Status
Go to above link to check first.
If you clear through counter then no need

I see...thats still egates.

Was referring to egate - non egate vice versa entry exit

 

[darkhonour]

From my experience, I was told by Malaysia immigration that both entry and exit must have the e-gate facility. So if the exit point I'm taking doesn't have e-gate, I will still stamp passport at the entry point even if I can use the e-gate i.e. any exit point that isn't JB CIQ, 2nd Link or KLIA. I have done purely KLIA1 e-gate (entry & exit) but so far I haven't tried the mixed mode e.g. entry via 2nd link/JB and exit via KLIA. (In the MDAC system, it does also record my entry and exit points where I stamped passport too)

Go jb…. At jb custom … is it both in and out of jb must be both manual or both ways egate ?

Can be go in manual and come out egate. Just that passport will have chop for in and no out and vice versa.

If go in by egate and out by manual, the officer will chop the exit and write comment like using egate for going in
