Dreaming of turquoise waters and a luxurious yacht charter with Meliora Yachts? One of the first questions travellers ask is, “What are the visa requirements for the Maldives?” The good news is that visiting the Maldives is hassle-free, with straightforward entry rules. Here’s everything you need to know to plan your adventure with confidence.
Visa Requirements for the Maldives
The Maldives offers a free 30-day visa on arrival for all nationalities, making it easy to start your yacht charter. To qualify, you’ll need:
A passport valid for at least six months from your arrival date.
A confirmed return or onward flight ticket.
Proof of sufficient funds (approximately $100-$150 per day, though this is rarely checked).
A confirmed booking, such as your Meliora Yachts charter reservation.
No pre-application is required—immigration officials issue the visa at Velana International Airport in Male upon arrival. If your plans extend beyond 30 days, Meliora Yachts can assist with visa extension inquiries, ensuring a seamless experience.
Additional Entry Tips
Health Requirements: As of May 2025, no specific vaccinations are mandatory, but check for any updated health advisories before travel. Meliora Yachts can provide guidance on current regulations.
Prohibited Items: The Maldives is a Muslim country, so alcohol, pork, and religious materials are restricted. Our agents ensures compliance, so you can focus on enjoying your charter.
Customs Process: Expect a quick customs check at the airport. Meliora Yachts coordinates your transfer from the airport to your yacht, minimising wait times.
