MDAC (Malaysia Digital Arrival Card) is not 'mandatory for everyone'. Officially, certain groups are exempt (e.g., Singapore passport holders, diplomatic/official passport holders, Malaysia PR, long-term pass holders). However, in actual entry and transit scenarios, even if exempt, it is advisable to prepare materials proving exemption status; for those 'just approved for long-term visas but not yet received physical passes', MDAC submission is usually still required. This article provides an exemption list, boundary conditions, and recommendations for carrying materials in a tool-page format, along with an FAQ.

TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) failures often stem from: name mismatch with passport, incorrect passport number format, date format/range errors, and wrong update methods after flight/accommodation changes (what to update vs. re-enter).

Starting in fiscal year 2026, the Japan Tourism Agency plans to review the 'guidelines/application standards' under the Private Lodging Business Act. The core aim is not to change the legal framework itself, but to transform 'nuisance complaints (noise, garbage, security, unlicensed operations, etc.)' from issues that are difficult to prove and penalize into actionable administrative guidance/penalties for local governments. This article explains from the perspective of 'nuisance complaints': why revisions are needed, which operational practices will be affected (record-keeping, communication systems, on-site management, complaint handling, platform and management collaborations, etc.), and provides a self-checklist and compliance actions for operators.
