Do I need a visa for Maldives from Greece?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Greek travellers do not need a visa in advance for the Maldives: a visa is issued on arrival. The online IMUGA declaration is nonetheless mandatory before the flight.
You are a Greek national heading to the Maldives on holiday. The tourist visa is granted on arrival at the airport, but the authorities require an online traveller declaration (IMUGA) completed before boarding. This guide explains what to do.
Do you need a visa?
Greek citizens receive a tourist visa on arrival in the Maldives, with no prior consular step. However, you must complete the online traveller declaration on the official IMUGA portal shortly before departure. Your Greek passport must be valid for at least six months.
How and where to apply
The visa itself is stamped on arrival by Maldivian immigration at Malé airport. Before travelling, complete the IMUGA declaration online (imuga.immigration.gov.mv) in the days before arrival and present the confirmation. An online e-Visa/e-VOA may also be recommended to avoid waiting at the counter.
Documents and fees
Carry a Greek passport valid at least six months, a return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation (hotel or resort booking). The tourist visa on arrival is generally issued without a specific charge, but rely on the official amount and conditions shown on the portal before you travel.
Processing and tips
The IMUGA declaration takes only a few minutes; complete it within the stated window before arrival so your code is valid. Check that your accommodation and onward ticket are correctly entered, as they may be verified. Keep a copy of the confirmation on your phone and printed.
Common mistakes
Typical mistakes are forgetting the IMUGA declaration, filing it too early or too late, or presenting a passport with insufficient validity. Always confirm the authorised length of stay and any fees on the official source before you leave.
