All tourists, of all nationalities, can receive a 30 day visa free of charge on arrival in the Maldives.<\/p>\n<p>No specific vaccinations are required to enter the Maldives. However, if you are arriving from a Central African of South American country where yellow fever is endemic you will require an international certificate of innoculation against yellow fever to enter Maldives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prohibited Items<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is prohibited for tourists to bring firearms, alcoholic beverages, pork products, pornography and idols of worship into the Maldives. Additionally, strict penalties apply to those attempting to bring illegal drugs into the country. Alcohol and pork products are only available on resort islands under a special license.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Medication<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most medication can be carried with you when entering the Maldives provided that you show a doctor&#8217;s prescription, and the amount you are carrying does not exceed your requirements for the duration of your stay in the Maldives. However, as regulations occasionally change, please check with the Customs Service that your medication is permitted in the Maldives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photography and Diving Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are bringing in a lot of photographic or diving equipment it is advisable to inform your resort of the details prior to your arrival. Otherwise provide a list with details about the equipment (serial numbers and so forth), to avoid delay at the airport upon arrival. Any items left behind will be liable for import duty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><a title=\"Flights to the Maldives\" href=\"https:\/\/maldives-paradise.com\/en_us\/2024\/02\/flights\/\"><strong>Search for Flights to the Maldives<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10385,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10382","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/maldives-paradise.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/maldives-paradise.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/maldives-paradise.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/maldives-paradise.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/maldives-paradise.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10382"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/maldives-paradise.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24642,"href":"http:\/\/maldives-paradise.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10382\/revisions\/24642"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/maldives-paradise.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/maldives-paradise.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
