Maldives Reopens for Tourism

All visitors entering Maldives from today, 15 July 2020, will be issued with a free 30-day tourist visa on arrival following completion of a health declaration card and thermal screening.

Visitors will not be subject to quarantine unless their screening indicates symptoms of COVID19. Travelers who do present symptoms of COVID19 will be subject to a PCR test at the traveler’s own expense.

Testing services will also be available for those who require a test result to return to their countries of origin or any other destination with the requirement.

Tourist resorts, hotels and liveaboards located on uninhabited islands are now open for bookings, whereas hotels and guest houses located on inhabited islands will be open for bookings starting from 1 August 2020.

Armando Kraenzlin, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts Regional Vice President and General Manager, said, “Our islands haven’t felt the same without our guests, but in their emptier states one thing has been more apparent than ever before: the need for us to work together to protect not only the health of ourselves and our communities but nature as a whole. Having spearheaded resort-based marine conservation in the Maldives for 20 years, we now look forward to inspiring our teams and guests with a new era of sustainability-minded operations that prioritise the wellbeing of people and planet.”

Travellers arriving by private jet have been permitted to enter the country since 1 June 2020.
