Avoid These Common Errors When Entering Accommodation Address on MDAC
Entering your accommodation address within the MDAC form often causes frustrating errors like “Please enter Address (In Malaysia) properly.” The issue isn’t just typos—many users face hidden requirements. This post explains what works.
1. 🏨 The Error Explained
A common MDAC error—“Please enter Address (In Malaysia) properly”—occurs even when the address is correct. This suggests stricter validation rules than publicly documented.
2. ✍️ Workaround That Works
Based on user reports, the first address field must contain at least three space-separated words. One user fixed the problem by moving the property name to the end of the first field instead of the second Travel Stack Exchange.
Example:
-
Field 1: “54 Persiaran Bunga Raya Langkawi Mall”
-
Field 2: “Kuah Kedah Malaysia”
This structure helped bypass the validation error consistently.
3. 🔁 Additional Formatting Tips
-
Avoid commas or special characters.
-
Use plain English letters (no accents).
-
Break up long addresses across fields, maintaining three words minimum in field 1.
-
If still failing, change browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), disable VPN, and retry.
4. 🗺️ For Transit-Only or Temporary Addresses
Transit passengers may enter:
-
Accommodation Type: “OTHERS”
-
Address: “In Case of Emergency – Transit Only [Flight #]”
This placeholder method is accepted to avoid errors and is noted in official FAQ documents.
5. 📱 Mobile vs Desktop
Some users report higher error rates on mobile devices despite official mobile optimization. If errors persist, switch to desktop and refresh before re-entering.
6. 🧠 Final Checklist
-
Field 1: 3+ words, property name at end.
-
Field 2: City/state/country.
-
No commas or special symbols.
-
Use English alphabet characters.
-
Disable VPN or browser plugins.
🧾 Summary
Address errors on MDAC forms are almost always fixable by structuring fields correctly: put the accommodation name at the end of the first field, ensure at least three words, and avoid punctuation. Use the placeholder method if transit-only. If issues persist, switch browser or device.
Fast, accurate, and delivered to your email—perfect for busy travelers, seniors, or families.
