What the IMUGA is
100% online — complete the declaration from any device before arriving in the Maldives.
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.
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
- Valid email address to receive your confirmation
- Processing time
- Usually instant. Your confirmation and QR code are generated immediately after submission.
- Validity
- Valid for the specific arrival details on your submitted declaration.
- Entries
- One submission per arrival. Submit a new declaration for each entry into the Maldives.
- At the border
- Present your completed declaration at immigration and keep the confirmation QR code available on your phone or as a printout.
Four steps, and you know all four
Most services show you three. The fourth one is real, so here it is.
- 01
Your trip
When you arrive and leave, and where to email the IMUGA.
- 02
Your travelers
Passport details for everyone traveling. Photograph the passport page and we fill it in for you.
- 03
Review and pay
Choose your review speed. Every line itemized before you pay a cent.
- 04After payment
Arrival details
Airline, flight number and your address in Maldives. About 2 minutes, once your payment clears.
What it costs
The application is $99.99 per traveler, charged for at most 2 travelers. That covers a 2-hour review by a person. Faster review is optional, priced below, and never pre-selected.

If Maldives is not accepting the IMUGA for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens. Checkout shows you that date before you pay. 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.

Questions, answered straight
Still unsure?
A person answers on chat, 24/7, before and after you apply.
Yes. The official portal is imuga.immigration.gov.mv and it costs nothing. We are a paid service: we fill the form in with you, check it against Maldives's rules, submit it on the day the window opens, and keep a human on chat if anything snags. If you would rather do that yourself, do. The link is on this page.
