All visitors must have a valid passport. For visitors from yellow fever infected areas, an international certificate of inoculation is required. No visa is required in advance.
A number of international airlines connect the Maldives with the major cities of Europe and Asia. A few steps from your plane take you inside the arrival terminal. At Passport Control, entry formalities are simple and casual. A 30-day holiday visa is granted free of charge on arrival. You may be asked where you are staying.
Most arrive in the Maldives with a prior booking at one of the resorts. At Port Health, immediately after Passport Control, you may be required to produce a certificate of inoculation if you have recently passed through a country in which contagious diseases have been reported.
If you need an extension of your visa, you will have to apply to the Department of Immigration and Emigration in Malι. All Visitors who enter the Maldives should be in possession of a return air ticket and at least US$30, per intended day of stay.
