What Maldives requires
One document, and it applies to every foreign national: whatever your passport, however you arrive.
- Maldives IMUGARequired for every traveler
IMUGA
The Maldives IMUGA (Traveller Declaration) is the official digital declaration form, a visa-free entry requirement for all foreign visitors arriving in the Maldives. Complete your Maldives IMUGA online before departure so your declaration is filed before you arrive.
- Processing time
- Usually instant. Your confirmation and QR code are generated immediately after submission.
- Submission window
- Opens 3 days before you land.
- Entries
- One submission per arrival. Submit a new declaration for each entry into the Maldives.
What you'll need
Passport details and passport scan, purpose of visit, personal details (full name, date of birth, nationality), travel details for arrival in the Maldives, accommodation details in the Maldives, health and customs declaration information, and valid email address to receive your confirmation.

What it costs
$99.99 per traveler for the IMUGA, charged for at most 2 travelers. Maldives charges no government fee, so that is the whole bill. That covers a 2-hour review by a person. Faster review is optional, priced below, and never pre-selected.

If Maldives is not accepting your document for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens. Checkout shows you that date before you pay. A travel eSIM is the only other optional extra. Times are counted from the moment we can submit, not from payment. Speeds move your application up our review queue; they do not change how fast the government processes it once submitted, and they are not a guarantee of approval.

2 travelers pay $199.98, and so does a larger party: our fee stops at 2 and Maldives adds nothing on top.
What $99.99 adds to the free portal
Maldives's official portal works, and it costs nothing. Here is the difference, line by line.
With Travel Smart Travel Fast
$99.99 per traveler- An AI checks every answer against Maldives's rules, then a person reviews it before it goes in.
- Apply today, whenever your trip is. We submit on the day the window opens.
- If Maldives's portal is down or rejects the submission, we keep trying until it goes through.
- Passport scanning, real-time validation, and a human on chat if it snags.
- A family of four is one form and one review, not four attempts.
imuga.immigration.gov.mv
Free- The official portal, in your own time. It works.
- The portal goes down for maintenance and times your session out. Every retry is yours to make.
- You have to remember the day the window opens, and count back from your arrival yourself.
- A typo in a passport number is yours to catch, and to fix at the airport.
- Every traveler entered separately, from scratch, with nobody to ask when a field is unclear.
Who needs one

One: the IMUGA. It applies to every foreign national arriving in Maldives, by air, land or sea. If your nationality also needs a visa, that is a separate application. The IMUGA does not replace it.
