Entry & Exit Requirements for the Maldives

Entry & Exit Requirements for the Maldives

Due to the current situation, a few requirements to travel to the Maldives have changed. This is a checklist of everything you need to enter the Maldives:

• your passport that is still valid from 6 months of estimated departure date
• a negative PCR test result which has been taken not more than 96 hours prior your departure from the first port of embarkation on the way to the Maldives, regardless of your vaccination status.
• your personal QR-Code of the Traveller Health Declaration which has to be filled online within 24 hrs before your flight to the Maldives via IMUGA. This means you can still do it last minute on the way to the airport via your smartphone, in case you forgot it!
• a booking confirmation for your whole stay which has to be presented at the check in counter at the airport

For your return flight make sure to check the entry requirements of the country your traveling to and the requirements your airline might have! When we’ve been to the Maldives at the end of 2021 we met a few travelers on their way back home to Germany which did not have a PCR test. Germany doesn’t require it for fully vaccinated passengers, but the airline Emirates wanted to see a negative PCR test result for all their flights during that time!
You also need to fill the online Traveller Health Declaration again, within 24 hrs before your return flight.
