Before you go

  • IMUGA Traveller Declaration — Up to 96 hours (4 days) before arrival; a declaration is also filed within 96 hours before departure; Free. Mandatory electronic form on the official IMUGA portal. Each traveller, including children, needs their own declaration; show it at immigration on arrival. Official site

  • Importing alcohol, pork, idols for worship, non-Islamic religious materials, weapons and e-cigarettes is prohibited

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.
  • Extend before you run out. A tourist visa can be extended up to a total stay of 90 days through Maldives Immigration.
  • Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for the Maldives. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
