Entry rules
Visa on arrival for up to 30 days
- Within 96 hours before you land, fill in the free IMUGA traveller declaration at imuga.immigration.gov.mv (one per traveller) and save the QR code. Nothing is needed to leave: the departure declaration was dropped in August 2024.
- At immigration in Malé, show your passport, your confirmed resort, hotel or guesthouse booking for the whole stay, and your return ticket: you are given a free 30-day tourist visa on arrival. No visa is needed in advance.
- Don't pack alcohol, pork products or idols for worship: customs prohibits them, and alcohol is held at the airport until you leave.
- The departure tax (US$50 in economy) is already in your air fare; there is nothing to pay at the airport.
Carry: Passport valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive, with a blank page (most airlines ask for this); Confirmed booking at a resort, hotel or registered guesthouse for every night; Confirmed return or onward ticket out of the Maldives; IMUGA traveller declaration QR code; Enough money for the stay (a card or cash in US dollars).
Free for every nationality, but immigration can refuse entry without a booking at a registered place to stay: an Airbnb or a friend's address without one is not enough. Re-checked in October 2026 from news and guide summaries, as the official site could not be opened: confirm on immigration.gov.mv before you fly.
Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.
