Passport

You must hold a valid passport to enter Maldives. Your passport must be valid for the proposed duration of your stay. No additional period of validity beyond this is required.

Visa

A visa is issued free on arrival for stays of up to 30 days, provided you hold a valid ticket to continue your journey out of Maldives and have enough funds to cover your stay.

“We loved being in Homestays and smaller hotels where food was Sri Lankan and not international, both dinners and breakfasts. We loved being out of town and in leafy surroundings.”
