Discover visa requirements for your trip
Indonesian nationals receive a visa on arrival in the Maldives; no prior consular application is needed. The main online step is the IMUGA traveller declaration to complete before arrival.
From Indonesia, the Maldives issues a tourist visa at the point of entry, with no application to file at an embassy beforehand. The online step not to miss is the IMUGA declaration, to be completed within the window before arrival. The Indonesian passport must stay valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Indonesian travellers are granted a visa on arrival in the Maldives, issued at immigration control on landing. There is no visa to obtain in advance at a consulate for a tourist stay. Still, be ready to prove the purpose of your visit on arrival.
How and where to apply
The visa itself is issued on arrival, but every traveller must complete the IMUGA declaration online at imuga.immigration.gov.mv before landing. You enter your passport details, flight and accommodation, then show the IMUGA confirmation at boarding and immigration. No consular appointment is required.
Documents and fees
Prepare an Indonesian passport valid for at least six months, an onward or return ticket, a confirmed accommodation booking and sufficient funds. The tourist visa on arrival is generally free of charge; confirm any applicable fee and the length granted on the official portal. Also check the current health requirements.
Processing and tips
The IMUGA declaration must be submitted within the stated window before arrival: do not leave it to the last minute. Keep the IMUGA confirmation printed or on your phone. A confirmed hotel booking smooths the immigration check.
Common mistakes
The most common errors: forgetting or filing the IMUGA declaration late, arriving without proof of accommodation or a return ticket, or travelling on a passport with insufficient validity. Use only imuga.immigration.gov.mv and avoid third-party paid sites that are not official.
