About Tourist visa on arrival

Maldives Immigration grants tourist visas on arrival, with no pre-approval. You need a machine-readable passport valid for at least one month, a confirmed return or onward ticket, a prepaid confirmed booking at a registered facility (or an approved sponsor), enough funds for your stay, and the IMUGA Traveller Declaration. A yellow-fever certificate is needed if you arrive from a country with yellow-fever risk.

Why it's on our list

  • Visa on arrival
  • Confirmed booking needed

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Tourist visa on arrival before you go.
