Madagascar visa for Hong Kong SAR passport holders

What it means in practice

15 days is about two weeks. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 15 November 2026, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

For a longer base you need an extension, if one exists, or a different visa from the start. Repeated back-to-back entries are at the officer's discretion.

How Madagascar counts your stay: As stamped: under 15 days without a visa, otherwise 30 or 60 days; overstaying can lead to detention or deportation.

At the border

Official details are shown in English.

• Passport valid at least 6 months after arrival with at least 2 blank pages
• Return or onward ticket
• Make sure your passport is stamped
• Health declaration and screening on arrival; people who were in an Ebola-affected country in the last 21 days may be refused entry or quarantined at their own cost
• Yellow fever certificate if arriving from a country with yellow fever risk
• No food (including fruit) may be brought in; declare foreign cash of EUR 7,500 or more; maximum 400,000 ariary

How to avoid overstaying

• Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
• Plan to leave a day or two early. With 15 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
• Extend before you run out. Up to 90 days in total. Apply to the migration service at Anosy (Antananarivo): 80,000 ariary per extra 30 days, plus an accommodation certificate or hotel booking and 2 passport photos.
• What overstaying costs. As stamped: under 15 days without a visa, otherwise 30 or 60 days; overstaying can lead to detention or deportation.

Good to know
